Straight out of the box. Have never been able to get a tight group with it. Good enough to kill deer with but a $700 gun should be able to hit close to 1 inch groups right out of the box imo. This things not even close lol. Just this yr while cleaning it i noticed a little play in the stock so i tightened the stock screw down and couldn't pull the bolt back after. Could be why it doesnt shoot well lol.
