[QUOTE="dmax1800, post: 834816, member: 68255"] I've been fighting an accuracy inconsistency problem for quite some time with my model 70 300 win mag. Its got a match grade barrel, bedded stock and the trued action. I've tried different bullets and powders. I've had a gunsmith look at it and he couldn't find anything wrong. I can sometimes get 3/8" groups and sometimes get almost 2" groups at 100 yards. I've tried a different scope, but the same inconsistency. What I haven't tried is different scope bases and rings. I'm using Weaver bases and Warne quick detach rings. I've got a pair of ring alignment tools, but I can't use them with the Warne rings. I just read about a Savage 111 Long Range Hunter with accuracy problems and one suggestion was to try aligning the scope to eliminate scope torque. I want to try a different set of bases and rings. My local Scheels store recommends Leupold bases and rings. Are they any good??? What do you recommend??? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
