Long time lurker. First time poster. To preface I searched the sight thoroughly and failed to find adequate answers.
After a lifetime of disinterest in tactical precision shooting I drank the koolaid and bought a Savage mkII as a training rifle. Got my groups under control at 25m and moved out to 50 with under 1inch groups on target. I purchased a Remington 700 Sps tactical and topped it with a busnell 3200 10x.
Backstory complete I went to the range yesterday. I warmed up with solid 1/4 inch grips with the 22 and did my initial sight in. I was on paper; grouped and zeroed the 308 at 50 then pushed out to 100. Everything fell apart. My 'groups' were 6inchs apart at first. I got it down to about 3 to at least give me a 100yd zero, but no way I could box tet my scope. I got so frustrated I burnt 40rds on steel targets at 200 and 300. Made me feel better to get positive feedback from the steel. I went back to the 100 paper and still 3inch groups. At that point I was unwilling to shoot any of my match ammo and I put my 308 on the rack.
Even with front and rear sandbags I feel the scope is vibrating. Is this a common transition problem from iron sights, am I just goofy, or is there some piece of advise that anyone can ofer me to tighten my groups down at 100m so I can move out?
