I spoke with the manager over the entire customer service department and he said his hands are tied, that it shot .5 inch groups and that's all he had to go by. He said that they do not take the action out of the stock to test fire it, but then later stated they take it off to adjust the trigger back to factory spec before shipping it back out. All they do is clean it then mount a Weaver 6x scope to it and use Federal 150 grain match grade ammo. Didn't quite add up to me. I pick it up from the UPS service center tomorrow and will take it out this weekend to see how it shoots. I asked him specifically what inch/pounds of torque they use on the action screws since they adjusted my trigger without asking me and I'd like to adjust it back to how I had it once I determine if it shoots how he says it does. How does it go from >6moa to <1moa without touching a thing. Simple answer, it doesn't.
Jason McHann, what is the shop you're referring to and where is it? Thanks for the input guys.

Well here is the update: Beretta charged me $70 to check for any accuracy problems (keep in mind rifle is still under warranty and was purchased in September 2014) and they found nothing wrong with the rifle. I'm at a loss for words, what in the hell do I do with the thing? How would you all handle this whole situation?

You can buy mine as soon as it gets back from the factory. I have had nothing but nightmares with this rifle, shoots all over the place. Beretta charged me $70 to check the rifle for accuracy and found nothing wrong with it. I used 4 different brands of ammo and grains, shot from a rest, checked the crown, action screw torque, recoil lug, used 3 different scopes and 2 different mounts etc etc. Best I could do was 6″ groups and they were very inconsistent. At worst it was shooting completely off paper. I dont get it. I feel bad once I get it back selling it to someone or trading it.

I suspect my torque could be off on the action screws. I didnt have a torque wrench so I ordered one last night, should be here Tuesday. What is the inch pounds to torque? Ive seen anywhere between 35-50. I will check the recoil lug before I torque it to spec. I had a tikk3 t3 in .270 and never had a problem with it, wish I still had it 🙁

Ive checked the crown but not the throat. I emailed Beretta, they responded with “Whats your serial number?” Maybe they made a bad batch of barrels or something. Who knows..

Stock is not touching anywhere. 3 different people have shot it all with same results. I have eliminated all variables. I guess my question is, has anyone else had this same issue and what did Beretta do about? I am 99% sure mine is a lemon.
