    UPDATE: New Rifle Won't Group: Suggestions?

    It's a Remington 700 5R Tactical. 26" barrel, no brake (although I am considering getting a clamp on). Just under MOA will be fine for me as the max range intended for it is 1000 yds (at a 20" plate). If I can hit that, I will consider it to be a success. First things first though...now that...

    UPDATE: New Rifle Won't Group: Suggestions?

    the mount is a one piece, mounted solidly and doesn't move. The rifle shoots fine now, no longer trying to troubleshoot (other than my marksmanship).

    UPDATE: New Rifle Won't Group: Suggestions?

    Guys thanks for the assistance, the rifle is packed up and going back to Remington some time this week. I will make a new tthread as an update when I get the rifle back and shoot it again . If remmy can't fix it, then i'm going to sell it and buy a Sako TRG 42

    Now I'm not so sure. For some reason I thought it was a sendero, but after looking around online it seems to look more like the tactical 5R. :confused: ....definitely has "5R Tactical Rifling 1 in 10"" scroll marked on the side of the barrel.

    Sorry to hear that, but thanks for letting me know. I just got off the phone with Remington customer service and they're sending me shipping instructions and a pre paid shipping label. I pretty much expect them to come back and say the thing is a tack driver and it's all my fault, but I'll be...

    Damn. Well good thing I saved all of my brass. I've got a friend with reloading equipment, so I'll see if I can find some 190ish grain SMKs and load up a dozen or so and see if that helps.

    Hmm. Now that I think about it, that damn base did come with two sets of four screws. I used the longer set for all four holes :eek: I don't want to jump the gun here (no pun intended) but I think you might be onto something. Dammit. Now I'm stuck at work with this on my mind all day! :mad:

    Roger that. I'll snap some pics of the bolt and spent casings when I get back to the house this afternoon. Also, I thought I mentioned it already but the ammo I'm using is Hornady Interlock, Hornady GMX, and Federal Nosler Partition. All 165 grain.

    The what? Mine didn't come with a scope base, just 4 small plug screws.

    New Rifle - Won't Group: Suggestions?

    Tell me about it! I will be calling Remington today. I made a much more detailed post last night about some more shooting we (my Father and I) did yesterday....still waiting on moderator approval however. Cliff Notes is that I swapped scopes, it shot about the same. Switched back to USO...

    New Rifle - Won't Group: Suggestions?

    OK I removed both action bolts, looked down the channel for rubbing or signs of contact. Nothing. Looked at the top of the forward action bolt and bottom of the bolt. Nothing. I suppose I should clarify what I meant when I said the bolt sticks: The bolt will lift just fine, but I cannot pull...

    Will do...Just remove the bolt and look for signs of rubbing or contact?

    New Rifle - Won't Group: Suggestions?

    Correct. Issue came back today and got progressively worse as we shot (as the oil dried out). In fact the last round took a little bit of tapping on the bolt to get out. Something is up with the rifle, even if not from an accuracy standpoint, it should still eject the round without being soaked...

    New Rifle - Won't Group: Suggestions?

    First off, thanks to everyone who has replied. Valuable input all around. Second: Yes 1:10 twist, 26" barrel. So far I've shot 3 different types of ammo: Hornady GMX, Hornady Interlock BTSP, and Federal Nosler Partitions. All 165 grain. I realize a couple of those are hunting...

    New Rifle - Won't Group: Suggestions?

    As the title says, I have recently purchased a Remington 700 sendero in .300 win mag. Sitting on top is a U.S. Optics LR-17, mounted in US Optics medium height rings on a LaRue Tactical 20 MOA picatinny rail. I am having severe trouble sighting it in. First outing was having trouble with the...
