Thanks everyone for the replies, I feel like the general consensus is on some sort of manufacturing defect. I'll get to work on that!

Unlikely on the store credit, but there shouldn't be an issue with sending it back for warranty repair.

Zeroed at 100 yards, and I'm using factory loaded ammunition (Federal 160gr Deer Thug Ammo) for now to build up a nice pool of brass for reloading. The rifle shoots great at 6 and 14 power for sure. No change in distance, the only change is pushing the magnification up to 22/24 and that makes...

One thing I forgot to mention is before we put it away we dropped one of my cousin's nightforce scopes on the rail and after a couple of rounds and some adjustments we had it dialed in. The rifle is definitely known good.

When we originally installed everything we had so many levels to make sure the scope was level to the mounting rail that it was almost silly. I'm reasonably certain that it is level. I also have an anti-cant level on the rifle to help prevent me from canting, though at a hundred yards I've...

All rounds are being fired from a bench using a set of Caldwell deadshot bags.

Yeah, when we took it out this weekend we remounted it and checked everything for proper tightness. Also when I dial the magnification back down, from 22 to 14 for example, the group goes back down to 1 m.o.a. So you think it is something wrong with the scope then?

So I'm a long time hunter but new to long range shooting. I recently decided to dial down the number of hobbies and focus on a few. I narrowed it down to shooting/hunting and riding motorcycles. Long range shooting/hunting was an extension of my current hobbies and one I was very interested in...

tl.dr: My current setup is easily capable of 1 m.o.a. three shot groups at low to mid magnifications, but on higher magnification the grouping explodes to 4 or maybe 5 m.o.a. What is going on? So I'm a long time hunter, but new to long range shooting and new to this forum too. This year I...
