I recently purchased a 16 trophy hunter in 7mm08. I broke in the barrel per savages suggestions. I have shot 3 boxes of ammo so far...Hornady Amer. Whitetail 139gr, Hornady sst superformance 139gr, and Nosler 120gr bt. Shooting 3 shot groups my last shot is often a flyer hitting anywhere from 1"-3" away from the first 2 shots. The first 2 shots are usually under 1". I am shooting off sandbags and a bench. I will give the barrel 15-20min to cool off between groups.

So my question...is this caused by the barrel heating up? Is it a stock issue? It could be a shooter issue...but always on the 3rd shot has me baffled. The scope mounts are solid as are the action screws.

I really want to love this gun....and 2 shots says it's a shooter but the flyers have me confused.

The 120gr Noslers have been the best performers by far btw...
