The reason for my sugestion to put the scope back on the DPMS was to shoot the gun you know shot well, with the same ammo, with the same scope, ect, ect was to make sure the guts to your scope have not failed. The reticle might be moving around.
If the DPMS still shoots good, then you know it is not a scope issue.

OK. Check to see if the barrel has any movement and if it's solid, you've pretty much narrowed it down to the scope and mount. Last resort, is sending it back to the manufacturer if the scope isn't at fault.
Ok thankn tou I really appreciate all the time and concern you all have put in if your ever traveling down hwy129 come through Fitzgerald and stop at A&J BBq lunch is on me
Dont forget to mention this conversation so I know who yall are
Update?
Only got out to 25 yds just testing function with new scope its much better
After you ruled out most of the likely possibilities, optic seemed almost the must be problem. Glad it's better. Hopefully you can get out to the 100yd range and give some feedback. I am hoping the problem is gone and you don't have an out spec barrel/muzzle.
You and me both I know they arent the best but I havent heard really anything but good about integrity price and shipping was great lol
Let me tell you the story of my last build and 6 to 8 inch "group". I built one back in July with parts bought from everywhere. The barrel was one bought from Apex Gun Parts and was a "military take off". After building the gun, I could not get it zeroed. I changed scopes twice and finally bought a set of back up sights and still could not zero the thing
I finally discovered the problem when I ran a "Bore Snake" down the barrel and the thing snagged on something and came out shredded!! I had never thought of checking the bore until the bore snake. I had been using a rod and brush for cleaning and never thought of a thing. The bore snake found a burr right where the gas port was drilled that I could not see when looking down the barrel. I sent the barrel back to Apex and put a DPMS barrel on, problem went away.
I wrote all of this to say the same thing someone else said earlier, check for burrs!!
