This was my first thoughts too...I double checked everything on the mounts and all good, unless something internal in the scope....but if it were mechanical.....would it not effect shots at both 100 and 300? Even at 300 it is consistent....just way low.
I ordered a chronograph yesterday...
I have a 300 RUM with 26" barrel and since the powder shortage have ran out of retumbo so have been looking for something else to make due until I can find some. Since 50 BMG is so easy to get I figured why not and worked up a load doing a simple ladder 20 shot ladder test, starting in the low...
round count .....is approximately 65 to 75. I have 65 fired pieces of once fired brass and the I know there a few pieces here and there that I'm not counting. The guy who put it together broke in the barrel for me with factory loads.
weight.....11.6 pounds without bi-pod and 12.6 with...
300 rum
700 action and floor plate and trigger (pro-tuned and blue printed)
Lilja barrel 26" #4
manners T2A stock
night force titanium rings - high
tally 20MOA base
Leupold mark 4 6-20x50MM mill-dot
custom brake build by local smith
got over $4000 in it
will take $3000 and I will cover...
Manners Remington 700 MCS T4A (ADJUSTABLE / Vertical Grip / Hook / Beavertail) - black - never been bedded
remington action - blue printed
Lilja barrel - heavy sporter - 26" with custom brake and thread cap - broke in buy gun smith (approxmily 125 rounds through it)
factory trigger - adjusted...
thanks, I will take it all into consideration. The first rifle is a 700 action into a manners stock. would you guys suggest attempting in a cheaper factory type stock first before jumping on the manners?
i plan on bedding a couple rifles i have and never went through the process before. Any suggestions on the best kit/product to get the job done? especially for someone new to the process?
