I have an AR with a 20" stainless barrel with a Wylde .223 chamber, 1 in 8 twist, 5R rifled, scoped with a 4.5 X 14 scope. The gun has always been a tack driver with its preferred ammo. 1/2 MOA when I hold up my end. I reload so I have tailored several different loads to this gun.
All of a sudden it's printing the 1st shot an inch to an inch and a half up and left of the rest of the group. Example: If shots 2 thru 10 are all in a 1" bullseye shot number one will be an inch to the left and about 1.5"s high. All screws are tight and torqued properly with regards to the scope/mount. Very consistently does this. I haven't torn into the gun yet be plan to in the next couple of days. Any ideas on what to look for are welcome. I built the the gun myself so I'm pretty confident that everything is still torqued properly. I will try a different scope before tearing the gun apart.
