[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 180716, member: 1522"] Johhny C, Welcome and Merry Christmas to you. I would first check the mounts and rings and make sure they're tight. Then take Dave's advice and put a known good scope on it and give it a try. Also, even though it's a synthetic stock check to make sure the barrel is free floated and not contacting the stock. Slide a piece of paper or a dollar bill under the barrel the length of the barrel channel. If it's touching those are areas that will need to be sanded so you remove that contact point. I'm betting you use a new scope, remove all contact points and it will start shooting. My bets on the scope that is on it, but with that light weight barrel any contact points will create other accuracy issues. Best of luck, keep us up to date on your progress. [/QUOTE]
