I am shooting hand loads that I use in my other 25-06 and that one shoots dimes at 100yrds so it wasn't the ammo. So I took it apart today at work and sanded the bedding compound out of the barrel channel to free float it. The after work I headed out to shoot it and re zeroed it and 10 out of 10 hit within an inch of where I was aiming so I think I was having too much contact on the barrel.
so you put all that time into it and then threw a ****ty scope on it to "see how it shoots". How are you going to do that with a ****ty scope? In that case iron sites sounds like the better plan. If you search gun broker you may find a great deal.

I got my Vortex HS-T Viper 4-16x44 brand new never mounted for $350.
