I've had some weird results with a couple of T3s. If someone told me their rifle did the same, I'd probably call BS, but it is what it is. The weird part is both problem rifles eventually shot sub-moa without having anything done at all. Still scratching my head on that one, I've had rifles shoot a bit better with time, but never a drastic change. Heck, one of them(338 Fed) shot 3"+ patterns with factory ammo on the first outing. Hand loads were better at around 1.25-1.5, then as development went on down to just below 1in, so the rifle was a keeper. The shocker was I still had some of the original lot # factory ammo that shot so poorly and when firing it to recycle the brass I achieved submoa. Never seen that before. The other poor shooter was in the 1.5moa range with loads it preferred, not what I expected out of a Tikka. It too started shooting submoa with handloads, but it was not a apples to apple comparison to the 338 fed.
The other two T3s I own shot great out of the gate.
Maybe there's hope yet for yours.
