I had the same problem with a Browning A bolt in .223 WSSM with a bull barrel. First shot was dead on and every shot after was all over the place. I sent it back to browning and they test fired it multiple times with the same result. They re crowned the barrel and still same thing, so they put a brand new barrel on it and it groups great now. I had a very small ding in the stock and if it wasn't for that they would have sent me an entire bran new gun.

My bro in law swears his x bolt 300 won't group. I always blamed his skills but may have to see about sending it back

just try'n to get it right for my dad.
My dads gun, might take more than one shot!! Lol. That's why I'm trying to get it right. All shots after the first are usually low and left out to about 3.5". Ammo 140gr fed. Fusion, and 140gr rem. Accutips. DNZ mounts.

When you changed the scope did you make sure the base was secure to the gun and the rings secure to the base. I had that problem with a 444

I own 5 7mm-08's 1 Remington 2 Rugers 1 Browning Micro A bolt & 1 Browning BLR. Have tried all the fancy crap high dollar shells & can't get a group out of any of them.....they all shoot the Core Lokt 140 excellent.

Try not cleaning the barrel every couple of shots. A barrel with a little copper fouling will normally shoot better. also try numerous types of ammo before giving up. My 308 xbolt shoots under half inch when I do my part.

Have tried shooting it on a fouled barrel , just not with multiple loads. That's when I started cleaning it every 2-3 shot. that's when i got a slight inprovement.

Good deal. Most of the time it's not a bad barrel, just have to find what the gun wants. 100 fps up or down can make a big difference in a group. Glad it worked out for ya.
