I’ve had a few and loaded for a few other VSSF’s. A couple 223 and a couple 22-250. They were all sub .5” five shot group rifles with preferred loads. I never bedded them or did anything to them other than adjust the triggers to an acceptable level. I did have a very early 700 VLS with the narrow fore stock that shot poorly. Probably averaged 1.5” groups at 100. I called Remington and they had me send it back. It came back with a letter saying the original barrel was out of spec ( whatever that means) and a new barrel installed. Of course they “detuned” my nice trigger work but after that it was a very accurate rifle and shot as well as any other bull barrel factory rifle I’ve ever been around.
I’d call Remington back and tell them you’re sending it back…. If that’s possible.
