280 AI ultralite cold bore shot issue

[Tidus56]

Hello all!

My buddy has a 280 AI that is a mystery to me and I am seeking some help. The gun is a Savage ultralite.
We are shooting 162 ELDMs at 3000fps
The gun is suppressed and has a Scythe TI on it.

First shot is always 1 inch high and 1 inch left.
After that it's shoots tiny little groups in the .3 range. We will wait until gun cools and it will replicate the same thing. Additional shots without waiting will continue to group and never return to the high and left spot. SD is 7 across 10 shots.

We have changed scopes, checked rings and checked bases. My best guess from here is to bed the recoil lug but I am not sure this will solve it but I know it won't hurt. I am also wondering if the stock might have a pressure spot but I am not seeing one yet.

Anyone else ever seen this before or have any thoughts?

I definitely would bed to assure clearance. I have heard of guns having a wild cold bore shot. Does it do the same minus the suppressor?

Thanks

I am not sure, I will double check that. Have you seen this before with a suppressor?
