Interesting, but no, I don't have a bipod. My last session was all from a lead sled. Before that, I was using sand bags under the fore end of the stock.

Having a similar issue with a Weatherby Vanguard S2 in 25-06 I bought new. Almost same story, groups aren't as bad as these, but these guns are guaranteed sub moa with a 3 shot group, and this gun hasn't come close after doing there recommended break in and trying 5 different kinds of ammo. Got the RA and shipping label, gun is going back to Weatherby tomorrow. Guess we'll find out how there customer service is.

I have a RAP in 5.56. It is very picky on where you place the sandbags under the forend. The closer you bag it near the trigger guard, the better it shoots. I have heard this from others on this forum. Hope your replacement shoots good. Update when you get some ammo through it.
Lone Wolf, my 25-06 in a Tikka T3 lite wouldn't shoot til I ran almost 50 rounds through it. Then all of a sudden it shoots lights out. Not sure what was going on, but it was my second range trip with it, and if it didn't shoot straight, I was going to escalate. Turned out ok though. Hope your Vangard comes back fixed.

"After a careful examination of the above referenced firearm, we find it necessary to replace it at no charge."
I'll come back and update this thread when I get the new rifle out to the range. Hopefully, I'll be posting some much better groups.
It might be a little while, though. I just got an e-mail update this morning. Due to a seasonal factory shutdown, the new rifle is expected to ship by 9/13.
