Sorry to hear that Ratcatcher.
As a cynical side note I will mention, you do know you will take major crap the next time you want to go to a shoot that's further than across town.

Thanks Tom.

Typically this happens when I'm a long way from home. The damage is directly related to distance.

The wife is pretty good about my shooting and training days. Less so about new firearms.
Good thing all black rifles look the same to her.  ;D

The first thing I would check would be to see if the barrel nut is properly torqued to spec. if it is loose it would allow the barrel to shift the point of impact.

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. Where are we now??????

I'm thinking that maybe the winner. I'll let you know.

LMT returned the rifle today with a new barrel. Hopefully we will get to the range and see an improvement.

Turnaround 10 working days and my friend was very happy with the customer service folks.

Well it's been 3 days!!  How does it shoot?

Glad to hear LMT had such a fast turnaround.
If the rifle shoots as expected, (I bet it does), that's pretty good customer service.

This guy  is one of those dependable parent, husband and employee types! He needs to get his priorities straight and go to the range. Hopefully we will go this week.

Don't think that didn't enter our pointed little heads!
The fact we could hit the 200 yard plates with my XCR made us think it was the rifle.
If I had brought a AR we would have just started to swap parts until we isolated the problem.
