[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 201575, member: 2736"] Sniperboy Try Bore sighting.Remove the bolt from the rifle and place the rifle on sand bags or a good rest , Place a target with a 6" black bulls eye at 100 yrds , Center up the bulls eye in the bore looking through the barrel . With out touching the rifle rase up and look through the scope if you have it sighted in it should be within a few inches of dead center. If it is not then there is definitely a problem with the bases or the scope. James is wright about the some barrels not being perfectly strait but they are straitened at the factory. Some of the custom barrel makers don't straighten there select barrels they redrill to a larger size and re check for straightness. This is the way I bore sight a new scope ,and even with not so good eyes I am normally withen a few inches (I'm normaly low and left 3 MOA. I have never heard of one being out that far. Let us know what you find . J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
