Bases tight, rings tight, action screws tight, screw for front sight base not touching barrel threads...

Tried two different scopes...mounted a third last night but got snowed out today.

It started out with always throwing a flier, then it progressed to obvious double groups. Now it is simply stringing horizontal...

Pic 1&2 = 41.3 of H4350 with 105 Scenar.

Pic 3 = 41.6 of H4350 and 105 Berger.

Pic 4 = 42.2 of H4350 and 105 Berger (recommended load)

Action screws torqued to 55 in lbs per builder.

Just read back through your build thread. Is the action bedded? You didn't mention that in the earlier tread that I quickly scanned through

I bedded it. I was getting double 5 shot groups, 2-3 and swapped scopes. Same results. I then sent to builder for bedding so I could get their 1/2MOA accuracy guarantee. Reinstalled scope #2 and hit the range. Getting schit like this now.

Find it hard to believe it is two bad scopes...

Bedding was my first thought.


Teach every child you meet the importance of forgiveness. It's our only hope of surviving their wrath once they realize just how badly we've screwed things up for them.

DC, do you know the answer or are you looking for the answer? If you know, quit holding out!

What scopes were on it?

If shooting over flags adjust seating depth

haha. I have no F'n idea.

Scope 1 was Burris 3-9 C4.

Scope 2 was Kahles Helia 4-12.

I was saving up for a Nightforce 5.5-22, but then lost my job and wife served me with divorce. That being said, this gun doesn't deserve a Nightforce at this rate.

I am going to try scope #3, hopefully tomorrow...

Specs:

M700, trued/recut
Timney trigger
McMillan stock.
Bedded and pillars installed by builder.
Bartlein 7.5 twist in Remington magnum contour.

Tried TPS rings, EGW base, Burris bases, Burris Signatures. Currently wearing Burris signatures and bases, and installed Zeiss Conquest. Zeiss was on 338 Win mag and was tested and functioning correctly last week. Hated to pull it, but don't have other options.

DC, sorry to hear of the hard times. Hang in there man.

At least the rifle is something to focus on!

Can be any number of things.

Usually operator "error". How much force you hold gun with in your shoulder, trigger squeeze, parallax, etc.

Can be bullet runout, bedding, off center bore, and believe it or not, seating depth......

Looks like you have a spot in your barrel that is building copper and it clears it's self once in a while and throws bullets out of the group when that little copper chunk comes loose. Just a guess but I have had the same thing happen before thought I was going to lose my fn mind trying to figure it out. Bore scope showed a small peice of riffling missing and a build up of copper in the gap a few more shots and the spot was gone and smeared up the bore.

Did you eliminate the possibility of a magbox or trigger binding?

Fred, you might be onto something...

Carl, box is free floated in standard BDL configuration. Bottom metal was also bedded.

Run out on my handloads is only hovering around .001-.0015".

Just loaded 20 more rounds, going to shoot tomorrow. Like I said prior...could be scope(s) but Burris is on another gun now and shooting fine. Kahles could be the question mark.
