Adjusted my thread title to hopefully not offend 
To clarify, No blame is being placed on Tikka (I love them) just listing the components used and I’m fully aware I have multiple factors that could be causing issues, all of which I am responsible for assembling.
Mostly I was interested in anything noteworthy in my assembly process that could be an obvious culprit. I know guys on here have put together more tikkas than me. So I’m just hoping to learn and maybe there are a couple simple adjustments without sending off the whole rifle or taking it to a gunsmith.
I’m thinking I will take things apart again and check how the action is sitting in the stock. Perhaps reduce my torque on those screws to 55 inch lbs. also I’ll try a few more boxes of factory ammo and shoot some groups, gather some more data, and report back with targets.
Thanks to everyone who has made some suggestions.
