I actually called Beretta and was told as it is mentioned on the websites. It is guaranteed to shoot 1″ groups at 100yrds right out of the box. I has been tested already so there should be no need for a “break in period”. Though they do say you might do a general cleaning of the outside and just run a clean patch through the barrel to make sure there is no residual oil. I just bought my first Tikka T3 Lite SST 243 and really look forward to taking some Deer with it. I'm no pro, that's just what they told me.
