[QUOTE="WoodHavenHunter, post: 1705001, member: 102754"] Update. Took the rifle completely apart, checked everything, re-leveled and properly torqued everything. Took it back it. It put holes in holes at 100. Literally one big hole. This was with letting it get completely cool between shots, off bags, etc to eliminate as many outside factors as possible. At 200 it opened up to about 2 inches, 300 worse, and 400 was just awful. Could be the 162s? I went to a Scheels store last weekend, and they had 2 xbolt long range max's in their used section. I thought what the heck! So I asked the manager of the firearms department. He said they have had almost every single one they have sold come back with the same issues I'm having. They just won't shoot well. A couple they sent back to Browning. One came back and shot well, the other didn't. They sent that one back 2 more times and now it shoots... Browning wouldn't tell them what they were doing with them. He pulled a new one off of the rack and showed me where there 1/2 moon shaped machining marks right in the throat of the bore. "I'm sure I'll get this one back too he said " Not sure where to go with this thing. Seemed like too good to be true when it came out. Now I'm thinking maybe it is... [/QUOTE]
