EDIT: I actually took a ruler to my range target that was used to scope my rifle in and my groupings were more along the lines of .5"-1" using 130gr Remington Core-Lokts. Guess I shouldn't trust my eyes as much. :)
Also, first impressions of the gun was that it was extremely accurate and the...
Yea, it definitely got easier the more I cycled rounds through it. I probably cycled like 300 rounds through it before it was even fired for the first time. I sighted it in about a month back and it was doing 1.5"-2" groups at 100 yards with very little seat time, so that could definitely...

I purchased a brand new 4x4 .270 a few days ago and I haven't even fired a live round yet. The bolt has been cycling through smooth and then is just a tad harder to cycle the bolt upward, before moving backward after a dry fire (only dry fired a few times). The...
