RE: "AT MY WITS END"
Not acceptable...I can do that with my flintlock, with open sights....
At this point, I'd either swap out the scope, to eliminate that or try one or two more brands of ammo...I will tell you, in my .243 with some ammo, I see 4-5 inch groups, but with others, 1-1 1/2 inch...Hopefully its only a ammo problem...
