Glad to see you got the groups down in size.  I can imagine that you were probably thinking you had a bad barrel with 2" groups.  I'm still searching for better groups with my .308, they aren' bad, but I know that it should be capable of less then 1" @100 yards.  When I had a contender in 357 herrett, it was capable of less then 1/2" groups @ 100 yards.  Keep working at it.
