There are 100 reasons that rifle is "only" shooting .8" groups at 100 yards. Almost all of them are fixable. The most obvious cause would be that you just need to shoot the thing a few hundred times. My LRPV got more and more accurate for the first 4 months I owned it. You should read my previous post again and look at the targets I shot and I'm very much out of practice. I haven't shot that rifle more than 100 rounds in the last 3 years and I haven't shot more than 150 yards because I had to move away from my home area and my gun club. Plus I had some health issues that are doing better now. Still I should be able to tighten up the groups you see in my previous post. That rifle is an amazingly good shooter. And again I got it from someone who thought it didn't shoot well after only shooting it about 10 times. I've seen lots and lots of rifles in my life and I know when one has barely been shot. There was no residue in the hard to clean nooks and crannies. No one cleans them perfectly and that rifle had almost no residue in it when I bought it. Don't give your rifle away. IMO it just needs to be shot a while and you need to find the right ammo for it.
