Tom68 - Don't give up on it too quickly... we all want rifles that shoot like a dream right out of the box, but some weapons are just picky. You are right to check and recheck every component of the system, but keep working on your loads as well.

Another personal antedote... I have a nicely accurate Remington 700 ADL in 6mm Rem, but it wasn't always so. In fact, in all the years I've owned it, it has only shot three loads really well. Everything else I've put through it was mediocre to poor at best. But, oh, those loads it likes, it's really satisfying to see those groups.
