OK, I finally got to shoot this rifle today. Shot one shot and it was 5" low. Should have been a clue. I moved it up a couple of mils and shot a 3-shot group- about 1 1/8" or so.

Shot the other ammo and about the same thing. Then I noticed the scope was slipping. I then saw that the rear ring had jumped the base! I really do hate Talley rings. I pulled it off and remounted the scope. I tightened it a little tighter than the torque specs this time. Scope didn't move and I shot one more group with both boxes of ammo; 180 Accubond Nosler trophy grade and 190 ABLR Trophy grade. Both groups had two touching and one out for 1"+ groups. I then noticed that the damn muzzle brake was about to fall off! A disappointing outing. I think if I had started with the scope and locktited the brake on I might have had some decent groups. Now I need to clean the threads and glue that danm brake on. You would think for $1900 they would put the brake on tight enough that a few shots wouldn't dislodge it!

Just is still out on this rifle.
