[QUOTE="silverhair, post: 1678001, member: 109808"] Those groups do seem large. Maybe it's a lemon. I'd call Barrett and start a conversation. I'm shooting an inexpensive Howa 1500 in 6.5 CM. It's on a different stock and uses a Vortex Diamondback Tactical scope. After 30 rd breakin, shoots inside 1/2" at 100 yds consistently using Hornady American Gunner 140gr (BTHP). That's with a #2 profile barrel, and I don't bother to clean after every group nor do I give it much time for the barrel to cool. After breakin (Hornady Black), I've shot only Hornady American Gunner 140gr. I'm a beginner and this is my first rifle. The rifle and I have only ~ 170 rds. Maybe I can get more accurate with practice and a different factory ammo. [/QUOTE]
