Have you shot the new scope on another rifle that you know and have tested with another scope? Just because it is new doesn't mean you don't have a scope problem. I always check a rifle I am having problems with with a known scope before making big changes to the rifle. Just in case. Had an issue like that several years ago, and the scope got a trip back to the factory after testing with another scope. A 12 twist should shoot 80-90 grainers. I primarily shoot 85's in my 243's. One shoots 85gr Seirra BTHP really well, the other is doing good with 85gr partitions. You could have issues shooting a 85gr Barnes X because they are long for weight through a 12 twist. What powder are you using?</p></blockquote><p></p>
