I have the Mountain Ascent in .270win and I also was very frustrated at first.  I tried several factory loads with no luck.  Then, after about 100 rounds through it my groups started to shrink.  It's shoots 1/2 inch groups at 100 yds. with Nosler trophy grade accubonds.  I also discovered it likes a dirty barrel.

+1 on the dirty barrel. Snipers shoot dirty barrels. Must be something to it

No one asking about scope and rings and proper torque.  Might be a place to examine. That gun itself should be a minute gun easily with decent ammo.
