I had one like yours but in 308. Even with the bad factory trigger, it was sub-MOA out of the box with cheap factory ammo. Definitely check the scope and mounts. On mine, they were barely tight enough to keep the scope from falling off of the rifle before I got out of the parking lot, with nothing like LocTite anywhere near them. Also check the action-screw tension. 30-35 inch-pounds should be about right. Shortening the barrel will also likely help.

Let us know how it goes.
