    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy The first two images I am pushing the bar down level with the front base. The second picture is with the pressure pushing down between the two bases. I hope you can see that there is light coming through showing a space. The amount is small however, and I...

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy ALRIGHT. The results are in, but first let me just thank everyone, especially Jagged77. You really helped out with your first posts, and went way above and beyond with all of the pictures. I did not see the pictures until after the range trip, but I will...

    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy Great idea badshot. After or maybe during my trip to the range tomorrow I will try both of the alignment assessment suggestions. It would be fine with me if it were just the base. I was looking at the picatinny EGW base anyway.

    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy Alright, a co-worker friend of mine lent me a Leupold Mark AR 3-9x40 scope. I just removed the Elite 3200 from the rifle, tightened down the bases a slight amount, degreased the Signature Z rings again (somehow there was a small amount of lube in the threads...

    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy Semor gunz, thank you so much for the offer. That was very kind of you. I live in the Albany area of NY, but yesterday I was lucky enough to have a co-worker offer to use a spare Nikon or Leupold scope (he doesn't remember which is off his guns) to test out...

    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy Well pupdawg, if you want to be exact it's really that I don't know if I can afford to have a scope instead of $400 in the future. With the way the economy is going and all I save more money than I otherwise would. If I had bought a Tasco scope I wouldn't...

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy You don't sound like an ass at all gugubica, I understand where you're coming from. I know that a lot of people on this forum buy all of the best of the best stuff, and all of the accessories for that. Well I unfortunately can't afford that. I only allowed...

    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy Thanks a lot guys, I read every comment and really appreciate the help. I'm going to make sure the bore and action are clean and then mount a scope I know to be good on there and see what happens. If that doesn't work I'll follow the advice of breaking down...

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy I'm not sure what this loser's problem is, can anybody tell me? I'm just looking for opinions here. Nortex, I will check the screws but I don't have anything to measure torque. I've been looking at the FAT by wheeler but it's getting mixed reviews. Is...

    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy Hey man, you don't have to be a jerk by telling me to grow a brain stem. What about what I'm doing is dangerous? There are always slight risks when using firearms, but what am I doing that's so dangerous? Shooting with a possibly busted scope? If you can't...

    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Re: R700 sudden loss in accuracy Thanks guys, I was thinking it might be the scope, unfortunately I don't have another one that can take center-fire recoil. I'll have to borrow someone's. How would posting a picture help you? what do you want in the picture? I got the scope less than a...

    R700 sudden loss in accuracy

    Hey everyone. A few months ago I bought an R700 sps in 308. It's got a standard barrel on it, not a heavy barrel. I mounted a Bushnell 3200 10x tactical in cheap Quad lock rings on a Remington weaver base. I have been shooting it when I have time, and have probably put around 70 rounds...

    Crow The two crows to the left are innocent, and cowering in fear. The target is on the right, and is about to kill the two civilian crows. You can use the mailbox as an aid, but the crow on the right is the target that must be ranged.
