I have had about enough. I just do not understand. OK I can buy at times its the shooter but not with my SOCOM. No other rifle even my 10/22 from 1966 is this inaccurate. I have no idea where to start but if this thing acts up one more time I am selling it. This this is so frustrating for a $1400 rifle from the factory that can not even hit inside 8" at 75".

First 5 shots yesterday at 75 yards, AE150gr. OK, I had it dialed on zero last time out so I was sort of why did it hit low and left but OK.

First two grouped low left, adjusted EoTech for 3 more and two hit about zero or where my zero was last time I was out, checking with the binos and I am happy, one flier last of the 3, so I said its me.

Then this is what I get, cannot even group 3 inside an 8 inch target 75 yards.

I ran 10 more rounds and got even worse, I threw it in the rig and left. Guess I will call Springfield see what they say and send it back but this is so frustrating.

This is the last time out and I was happy. Everything hit center mass last time out and yes I the shooter could be the cause with some fliers, I had no issues and nothing changed. Nothing has changed but 2 swipes with Boresnake with BreakFree and cleaned the bolt face.

As you can see, when on its shoot very accurate but only for 5 rounds cold.

This is an ongoing issue since day one, 5-7 rounds good then shotguns. This time shooting out of 10 rounds, two did not even hit 18"x24" target.

I understand to do some work and parts upgrade but at this time I am not willing to put any money or effort into it.

Nope, no money or desire at this time.

the issue was the guy couldn't shoot.

ask rammac how inaccurate his socom is... (its not)

when people don't answer when you ask them if they let someone else shoot it, likely you can guess what the problem was.

when two good shooters have the same issue. its more likely the gun.

Are you saying I couldn't shoot!! How do you know??

Please do not make statements that you do not have the facts!!!!! If you know me and have shot side by side with me then tell me who you are?

I did let others shoot it with the same issues. Side by side with an M4, M4 shot inside my groups all day long. Most times I do not run home and tell the world. Most days, I have other things to do than post on here.

My SOCOM did have hits at 440 yards on man size target, field range by 4 different shooters to include myself with my bolt gun ammo.

The fact is my SOCOM had issues, 6-8" groups at 100, and after another $700 dollars into a $1400 rifle it has tightened up. Side by side with M4, SOCOM has become a little tighter. It is the worse at being ammo specific of any and all firearms I ever had.

5 shots at 300 yards prone off bipod

5 shots at 500 yards prone off bipod

I can hit 1 moa at 1000 and 1.5moa steel at 1100 yards prone off bipod on a non square range, in the field off grass.

Am I a one holer who can lazer beam all day, absolutely not but I do OK and do I admit that but I do not speak about others who I do not know.

Since you laid down the gauntlet and you seem like a one holer, super lazer beam shooter, lets see your 300 and 500 yard groups from you!!! How many days a year do you hit a field at 1000? Ever taken a shot at 1 mile?
