[QUOTE="chowder, post: 499103, member: 29477"] I've had a thread going on poor grouping w/ a Savage model 11 Long Range Hunter/ Bushnell 4200 6-24X50 Tactical combo and after a lot of messing around it seems pretty clear that the scope is not right. I'm wondering 3 things; 1. Has anybody had a similar experience and how long did it take to resolve? 2. Did you keep the repaired/replaced scope and how do you feel about it now? 3. For a guy just trying to get started w/ this long range thing this has sure been a really bad experience. I bought a Savage model 10, 22-250 and put a fairly inexpensive Mueller long range/predator scope on it and a Savage model 11 long Range Hunter .308 and put the Bushnell 4200 on it w/ high grade hard ware. Although I've learned a lot of things about mounting scopes/ groups/ barrel bedding,etc by trying to get things figured out w/ the .308 I've also lost most of the confidence I started out with due to repeated failed attempts to get decent 100 yard groups w/ the .308. I have been able to get very nice groups w/ the 22-250 but I am noticing that now I'm even losing my form w/ that rifle. I'd like to just forget I ever had the Bushnell 4200 on my .308 but since I can't throw $600 down the drain I will need to find a way to get over this. Any suggestions for that? Thanks -Andy [/QUOTE]
