What ammo? brand and bullet type?
If it's Hornady 123sst custom, that ammo is finicky as to which barrel it likes.
Do you have a chrony to get some MV readings?
I had a howa in a pro varmint, for some it's a nice setup but for me it seemed -- well, blocky for me to hold.
Not necessarily bad, mind you, just didn't seem to work well for me.
But I'd look at your ammo.
Second, how's the trigger? from the factory it seemed a bit heavy and a little gritty to me, I replaced mine with a timney but there's also some spring changeouts or tweaking you could try if you want.
Next, what about the bottom metal -- oops! plastic. That plastic has been known to be problems cause if you torque it to mfr spec you'll probably split it.
There's a DIP inc bottom metal you can do, or hokeypokey kid on here has one also. Having a true metal bottom allows consistent torque.
Also, there are a couple of Bdl-type bottom metal pieces on here that might do the same for you.
Following that, might want to think about bedding it... I wound up bedding mine and it did help.
