Alright guys, I'm about to go crazy over my new rifle. I have an LRP-07H which is the 18" version on the lrp07 with light barrel.
The issue I'm having is that I'm getting inconsistent accuracy out of this thing. One day I will go to the range and I will be shooting the best groups I have ever shot with any rifle consistently. I'm talking about .15"-.35" 3 shot groups several times in a row. Then the next day I'll go to the range and I can't get anything under an inch and some groups have a flier so far, I can't tell which shot is in which group (2+ inches)!
I know everyone has good and bad days, but this isn't it. On my other rifles, on bad days I might shoot closer to 3/4 moa and on good days all .5moa or better. NEVER anything over an 1" (when from a nice prone position and taking my time obviously).
I have tried to give the rifle a thorough cleaning, I have tried to run it dirty, I have tried to use more lube and less lube. I initially put on a JP enterprises thermal dissipator, so I have tried to take that on and off. I have tried to shoot slower and faster. I have checked all scope mounting screws and used different scopes. I have used it with my suppressor and without my supressor (on good days it shoots just as tight with suppressor and on bad days it shoots just as bad with it). I have not been able to find any rhyme or reason!
All this has been shot with the same lot 175smk FGMM, so the ammo is consistent between outings.
This is just a couple examples that I could find on my computer that I documented. Heres from some good days:
(that last image had 2 single shots for me trying to foul barrel without suppressor and then with suppressor)
As you can see, Almost all the groups are in the .5's or way less! This isn't me cherry picking either. I can find the full pictures somewhere on the phone if you guys want, I just usually crop the photo to the shots when I transfer to the computer.
Now look at a target from today:
I could only find the picture from today, but I've had more than a few outings with exactly these results!
Any advice? I'm going crazy here! What else can I check?
