Bear Creek Arsenal now posting pictures of groups at 100 yards on their website

A 'Rookie' who wants us to be "gentle" is a 66yo who has zeroed "dozens of rifles". If you know your stuff and have already contacted the retailer then let us know how it all turns out because clearly you have it in hand and don't need our advice. Wait until it is all resolved before sticking the boot in. You might not be so disgruntled if they look after you...or if it turns out it's your fault.

I don't want any members of this forum being treated this way when they start an account and come here for help.

He hasn't given any indication that he is the problem.

The upper was complete and assembled by Pro2A Tactical, which is plausible after perusing their site with customer feedback on their advertising talking about how great the BCA barrels are.

I have not seen one piece of evidence that would steer me in the direction that this is something the OP caused.

Maybe his scope is loose, after dozens of rifle zeroing over his lifetime, but how likely is that?

Even if this is his first time shooting a gas gun, we shouldn't be talking about patterns and complete misses of the paper.

What is the least common denominator of the problem that I can see? BCA barrel.

It defies everything I know about logic and decency to start calling him out as the problem.

When I came to this forum 10-11 years ago, I was welcomed and immediately given a lot of information and advice in a very friendly manner by a group of people who genuinely wanted to help out.

We must strive to maintain that spirit and friendly conduct here.
