    Cause of split groups?

    I'm trying to figure out what the cause of these split groups could be, they are consistent across other groups as well to the point if you overlay other targets you see straight through both of them. T3X 7mmRM, DPT supressor with a Steiner Predator 8 3-24x50 on Talley rings. Definitely not parallax as I made sure to set it exactly right, and I check the supressors tight before every shot. Pretty consistent across two different factory ammo and a handload ladder. And it's not the last two shots or just when the barrels hot etc, the throws on this group were 2 & 4.

    Looking online people have suggested the scope mounting, that got me thinking to when I purchased the rifle I saw a dremel being used during the mounting process, I took the rings off a scope I had previously purchased from them and from my untrained eye it seems fine, the finish is most definitely not a dremel finish and feels very smooth, so I'm guessing this is a non issue but I've included a picture just in case.

    I've had someone else shoot the rifle to rule out the me factor but they weren't the greatest shot so wasn't much help, but I'd like to think I'd know if I was throwing it that much. Gonna have someone else shoot it in a couple days but in the meantime any ideas as to what could be the cause of this?
