[QUOTE="Lungdeflator, post: 193326, member: 5163"] Hey guys, first let me preface by saying I don't know a lot about rifles. I have never had a problem like this and don't know what to look for. The rifle in question is a Remington 700 CDL in 25-06 with a Vortex Viper scope, both about 4 years old. I'm shooting 117gr Hornady Suprformance at 100 yards. So before heading over to MN for the rifle season, I dusted off the rifle and ran a box of shells through it. I was without a solid bench rest or anything so got it as dialed in as I could, but with some inconsistent shots mixed in that I blamed on myself and lack of recent shooting. Fast forward to after I shot a buck and had some inconsistent shooting during that situation. I ran another box of shells through it. This time with a solid bench rest and inconsistent shooting and even worse groupings, some shots missing the paper entirely. So while I might be a little bit of the problem still, I don't think I am that bad, especially with a solid rest. Not knowing anything about it, I brought it into Minot Scheels when I got back and they rechecked the scope and checked the torque on the rings and bases. They didn't see anything obvious, so they took the scope off and are going to send the scope and remington back to the companies for them to look at. Said turn around time is usually 6-8 weeks. Any thoughts as to what is going on? This is a lightly used rifle I bought brand new with a total of maybe 7-8 boxes of shells through it. [/QUOTE]
