And why shouldn't that be? How many loads have you tried with it? 1.5" @ 100yds is acceptable for a hunting weight rifle in a hunting caliber. If you don't like those 1.5" groups, send the gun to me, I will glady take that.

Oh, and by the way, I have a 110 in .30-06. Shoots about 1.5" also, and I have been working with loads for it for some time, and somehow, it still manages to kill deer.
