Scope was loose the whole time

[Grinch]

I spent weeks trying to fix my accuracy and I checked everything, but it turned out that my scope mount was barely finger tight, so I tightened it and groups shrank immediately. Always check the obvious stuff first.

I also once spent a month chasing my zero before I found out my base screws were loose. It's funny how the easiest thing can fix everything. I now check those screws every time I go to the range.

Checking every screw on my rifle is my first move before blaming the ammo.

I've been there, scope issues can send you down a rabbit hole fast. It is always worth double-checking the simple stuff first.
