Recently purchased a Rem. 788 in 7mm08. I mounted a Leupold VX-II 4x12x40mm on it. I took it to the range and it was all over the place using 3 brands of factory ammo. The trigger was extremely heavy and the stock was hitting hard on the barrel for the first 5 or so inches. I installed a Timney trigger and free floated the stock all the way to the receiver. I installed the stock and torqued it to 45 in. lbs. It came with a weaver one piece base. I installed weaver steel rings torqued to 25 in.lbs. The barrel was clean and bright. Took it back to the range ..... same thing !
