[QUOTE="jtillman, post: 193340, member: 904"] Let's assume the rifle, being of good quality (700 CDL's normally are) should group and pattern better than your experiencing.....if it were me, I would start with: 1. Confirm the scope base / mounts / rings, etc. are all rock solid. 2. Confirm action screws are not loose. 3. Shoot again. If you still have issues....throw another scope on that you know works (if you don't have one, borrow one)....rinse & repeat. You should be able to get at [I]least [/I]fist size groups with the average 700 & decent scope. If you do that, and you still have spraying issues, then in my opinion it is something funky going on with the rifle (the ding in the crown is a great example). If your groups tighten up with the second scope....then you know you have a scope problem. You can play with different ammo, but unless the twist rate of the barrel & bullet weight aren't compatible (the 117gr should be OK), I really don't see ammo as being the main culprit. --Good Luck-- [/QUOTE]
