Start shooting some 5 shot groups too, that will give a better representation of the ability of both shooter and rifle...


What bsa said. For the 280, I'd add grip pressure on the pistol grip. When I do my part, my rifles shoot nice little groups. When I start hanging onto the gun a bit (r.e. gripping the pistol grip in an inconsistent manner), my groups look exactly like your 280 - opens them up to 1.5" or so. For the 280 it looks like a consistency issue with some facet of your form. For the 270, I'd bed and free float it if it was mine. Then follow the aforementioned form/consistency suggestions.
