I recently bought a Remington 788 in 22-250.
-Second and biggest problem, it doesn’t matter what scope I put on it, the empty casing hits the scope windage cap and bounces back into the action. I have tried my big sightron 4-20x 50, Burris fullfield E1 4.5-14x42 and an old old old leupold vx-II 2-7x32 with coin turn turrets (very low). No matter the scope, it knocks the round back into the action.
You didn't say what mount or ring height you were using with your scopes. I was using a two piece weaver mount and low weaver rings with a Leupold 2x7-33 and had the same problem. I did have some success by canting the rifle over a bit while operating the bolt but wasn't happy. I looked high and low for a old Redfield mount without any luck but before I rotated the scope, I tried a 1pc rail (ERG?). The problem disappeared.
My 788 is a 30-30 so your results may very.
