I finally got this thing to the point that I don't hate it anymore. I'm pretty happy with this first group after getting the scope mounted up and sighted in. 10 shot group is a little less thatn 2.1".
100 yards seated bench bag front rest no rear rest (shouldered) 60 degrees < 5mph wind SA M1A Scout Sage EBR Elite 4200 1.25-4 (set for 4) The group is a couple of inches high at 100 yards. I had just zeroed the rifle at 50 yards. The ammo is the AE 168 gr BTHP M1A stuff.

It's not a bad group at all and a nice Scout.  You might try different brands and grain rounds though. In my experience rifles tend to pick which ammo they like. Just because Federal made and marketed ammo for the M1A, doesn't mean it's going to be the best your rifle will shoot. Mine in particular with it's usgi 1 in 12, 4 groove barrel tends to shoot straight Winchester 150 grain FMJ better than lots of high quality NATO 7.62x51mm, though the Lithuanian stuff was real close.
