    I've never been a fan of so called breaking in a new barrel. Never found it made the slightest difference. With a Tikka it has already been shot 3 times at the factory plus an additional 2 shot proof...

    ^ bipod on a table (hard surface) can be the culprit. I always chuck something soft underneath (like a towel folded in half).

    Yeh I agree, I wouldn’t do anything drastic just confirm things are snug/tight and up the target a fraction as per suggestions made above. Heat mirage would be terrible at the moment doing...

    There could be an oddball factor like the mounts being out of line with the bore and then a parallax error at 200 - make sure everything is straight and in line as well as the other checks

    Don't touch anything , get your target shooter to have a go . Shooting at 100 is one thing but shooting at a greater distance is something else , it is not as easy as some would have you believe .
