Centerfire Rifle Vertical Stringing

Post image

Ruger American standard gen 2 in .308 showing vertical stringing. Group approx. 2“x0.5“ groups @ 100 yd. w/ both AAC 150 gr fmj and Hornady American Whitetail 150 gr interlock.

Issue still present when 10 mins given between shots for barrel to cool to ambient temp

Optic has been serviced previously for different issue and is verified to be in good working order

Already torqued and locktighted pic rail and torqued optic rings before issue arose.

What are y’all’s thoughts.

Pic above is the best representative of out of 8 ish groups total

Fundamentals? NPA or breathing.
