Send the scope in to have Leupold check it out, try a lighter or heavier bullet weight...that may make a difference...without having the gun in my hands it's difficult to really gauge the problem...
I feal your fustration and I'll relate a little story about another 7mm Mag
I have a ruger M77 that caused me untold grief. first 2 rounds were always about 1" and never more then 2", but the third round was always +2" and the fourth was +3" and the fifth was no better. So sighting in was always super fustrating. I tried swapping the scope, no still problems, I took off the stock, striped the rifle completely, cleaned it, reassembled carefully. No still causing grief. Then I noticed the third shot was always high and right the fourth was always right and the fifth was low and right. Well my slow witted brain suddenly had a flash (ouch) bedding. Its set up with a presure point half eay down the barrel. So one day I'm going to bed the reciever and free float the barrel. Untill then I have sighted it in cold, and thats how I use it for hunting.
So hang on if its not shot out then your problem is fixable.
You have to try to shoot a group, don't shoot 1 round and adjust the scope, then shoot 1 and adjust, it gets to be a very fustrating and vicious cycle. I know.
Before we have this guy selling or trading his gun and possibly losing $$ on it, why not recommend a gunsmith in his area to give this a once over and double check EVERYTHING, maybe even boresight it and try it out.
My brothers gun was acting very similar to this and we changed scopes, shells, etc. finally figured out the barrel ws loose. just a thought maybe check that out.
