Mossberg Patriot 25-06

A fried of and I just bought (2) Mossberg Patriot in 25-06, I went to the range and started break-in process and after (10) shots cleaning every shot then (3) then clean for the next (15) shots. Then shooting (6) shots and clean 3 times. Then started shooting (3) shot groups with different bullets and powder and cleaning when ever we changed powder. These have to be the worst shooting rifles I have shot in 30 years. 3" to 4" groups. Is anybody finding these same results. I have looked at the bores with a bore scope and the lands and grooves look good for a production rifle. Just looking for a fix or is this just a rifle to stay away from???
 
We have bought a lot of inexpensive rifles to play with and get them to shoot then we usually give them to some young hunter that doesn't have a lot of money to spend on a hunting rifle. We have had Savages, Remingtons, Marlins, & Rugars. Most of them are pretty accurate right out of the box and will shoot 1 1/2" 3 shot groups and with a little tuning we can get them to shoot under 1" 3 shot groups some even shoot 1/2" groups. These Mossberg's are just AWFUL they don't shoot well enough to give to anyone to use for hunting. I haven't seen any replies so we got to be the only one's foolish enough to give them a try.
 
The only Mossberg I own, shoots great and prints well! But, It's a shotgun.......😉 I picked up a couple of their rifles at the LGS, to fondle. Tooled cheap, felt cheap. Bought a Browning Varmint SPECIAL. It won't shoot, either. Good luck.
