    Problem: Remington 700 shoots low

    Took the rings off and everything is level. I held a level on top of the rail to compare the angle to the barrel but the entire barrel is tapered. I miked it to see if it leveled off but it doesn't. Got redneck and put a cleaning rod through the barrel to compare it to the level rested on the...

    Problem: Remington 700 shoots low

    I know I know. The base goes out far enough so both scope mounts have a full contact patch. I had this 1 piece and was hating dropping a round in and then pressing it down and then making sure it was all the way back. Forget about doing any of this with even light gloves. So I said screw it and...

    Problem: Remington 700 shoots low

    Alright. watched some Midway videos. That Larry Potterfield makes blueprinting a rifle look pretty easy...... It's good to see exactly how these things are put together. From what I see the only thing that could be off with the rifle is that the action where the barrel threads in was drilled...

    Problem: Remington 700 shoots low

    Here is a picture of my set up. I had a one piece base I chopped up so I could load rounds easier. The zero didn't change after modifying the base so that isn't the problem. It's shooting 1/2 MOA right now. The rifle is a couple of years old and I changed the bolt handle, trigger, stock and...

    Problem: Remington 700 shoots low

    I have a Remington 700 SPS with a 20" barrel that seems to be shooting low. I have only used scoped rifles for deer hunting and have built this up for long range shooting so I'm not an expert at it but it doesn't seem right. With the rifle zeroed at 200 yards I only have 4 mils of up adjustment...
