I just got a R1 .308 and can't get the gun to pattern at 100 yards. I have a Leupod 3X9X50 VXII mounted firmly on the gun with lock-tight so there is no movement in the scope. When I shoot the gun the first three shots or so start to pattern. Once the barrel gets the first hint of heat the bullets start to sail. I put the gun down to cool for 10-15 minutes, fire one round and put the shot about an inch above the bulls eye, fire again and the bullet hits 12 inches to the left,fire one more shot and hit 6-inches away from the last shot giving at least 20-30 seconds between shots.I tried 150 and 180 grain bullets and still have them sail.Any ideas on how to get the R1 to pattern?
