New gun won't group

Check your front ring attachment, seems questionable. Make sure all your fittings are tight. Call PA see if they have a Vortex kit for that model, a new spring can do wonders. If all that fails, try clubbing your quarry to submission with it. Keep us posted.

I could be holding it too tight, I’ll try the military hold, thanks intenseaty22 for noticing that front mount, that’s why I posted, I need all the help I can get. What bugs me is the vendor I got it from says nobody else is having issues with there guns, perhaps I just got a lemon.

Anyone can see your using the wrong scope, your supposed to have the Bug Buster on that model..

Try using popping corn (oiled!!) instead of chia seeds. You can find ballistics data online. Send photos.

We can tell you have been trying to carry that beast using the scope as a handle. Sooo bad. Get a sling and ask your mother-in-law for help.

-Your using Chia seeds for ammo?? I've read mixed reviews on that ammo but, haven't tried it myself. Try using a name brand ammo such as "Morton". It should give you a good staring point.
-After that, try moving up to "Himalayan rock salt". But, be careful! You need to either find it pre-crushed to the right size or, go through the process of head sizing every granule. Let me tell you, that's a TIME CONSUMING process!
-As others mentioned, check your scope mounts and screws. Adding a scope level might help your grouping as well. I suspect your scope is good since it still has the "new" stickers on it.
-Lastly, try a different bench rest. The one you're using is known to come from the factory with chipped paint and can cause painful splinters!
Happy shooting!

It's pretty light, a little hard to cock and loud, thinking about picking up a sumo for it, Hey Matt, do you think you can fab up some kind of mount to hold little salt baggies so I have extra ammo when I'm out in the brush?, the ones I got from you for my w/cat are insane, you might have a market for them.

Thanks Tominco, I really appreciate your feedback, I'm gonna get up early tomorrow, get out the chrony and see what this thing is shooting at. I remember having issues like this with my marauder.
