The main bore condition isnt too much of a concern but the last 1" of bore is very important along with the crown. Personally i would double check the muzzle end and crown with your bore scope before you waste too many more components. Try another scope (the ok tmk groups say its possibly not this) and recheck your action screws etc. Remove any suppressor.
I've problem solved a few different rifles now and they all shot like yours or better even with their problems. They shot alot better after. 2"-3" groups indicates problems.
Put your emotions aside and think practically. I bet you'll find something.

There's no emotion. I just don't think it matters that much, that's far more practical than pretending I need 1 inch groups to kill deer or shoot steel. Those that think they need sub moa rifles are delusional and often so are those that think they have them. Hornady have openly said it's exceptionally rare for there cut rifled match barrels in fixtures to be truly submoa.

I want to test for changes. So i need a generic baseline. I'm not wasting components I'm investigating. How do I know I fixed something if I didn't prove what the issue was. Could you please provide some large shot size groups showing your precision?

I don't see it as component wast I see it as trigger time, investigating what if anything makes large differences to rifle precision.
