My groups at 200 yards aren't even "groups" - I'd barely feel comfortable shooting at deer from this distance! I feel confident that I am shooting consistantly. It has a Leupold 4X scope on it. I've tried Winchester 130 grain and Hornaday 130 grain. Where do I begin in troubleshooting this rifle??

if u feel u aren't the factor, then i would loook at a few things
1. check all the screws on the stock scope mount and scope for tightness
2. try more then the 2 brands of ammo you listed. Not every gun likes the same ammo, some barrels are finnicky and only like certain brands and certain grains.
3. rule out for 100% sure that its not you by having a friend watch you for any movement before the rifle goes off(flinching)
