Yes let's hope they find the problem and its not a case of the problem suddenly going away while 'it's in the shop' so to speak but in this case you have pretty much proved there is a problem and really nothing that could change to make it suddenly shoot well for factory personnel.

Talked to rep today and it will be shipped this afternoon.
They replaced the barrel and outer magazine tube.
Smoothed and polished the bolt bore and adjusted the lockup.
Hope to get it back before Saturday. Looks like it had a few issues. I was pretty much sure barrel wasn’t right with impacts with scope and sights just as bad. Happy to see they went the extra mile to repair verses send a new gun that may have had same issues.
