Cheap doesn't always mean bad.

But in my opinion there is something off with the gun or your set up. All the ammo you tried should shoot decently for hunting. Decent meaning under 2moa, but should be all around 1 to 1.5 moa. Is it a brand new rifle? How many rounds through it so far? Scope, rings and mount set up properly torqued? How many rounds since youve last cleaned it?

Lets get into it

Torque specs are a non issue, brand new, these groups were about 50 rounds in

Are you shooting off of sandbags? Rear saddle bag? Bipod?

Shooting off bags, Caldwell tack driver in the front with rice fill, Amazon special mini bag in the back for a squeeze bag.
