[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 840950, member: 17844"] I think the best way to fix these kind of issues is to buy a Sako rifle instead. I have owned quite a few and never seen a crooked mounting scope ever . Even a Howa or Weatherby V is an ok rifle and your 700 mounts should fit the Howa and Weatherby also , rails on the same length actions though. Had plenty of opportunity to buy a Remington 700 but they just have never impressed me as is . However if you are wanting to modify and accurize and such then the Remington 700 is very good for that with all the add on aftermarket stuff and being a cylindrical action easier to work on but to use as they come from the factory I would pass . Flame suit firmly on. I think a 1/4 of an inch out in say 30 inches is 28.647 MOA That's quite an error. I have a Mauser with a similar problem although not as bad , What I did was make a blank Picatinny rail base and bed it to the action and screw it down tight then set the action up in the mill and machine the dovetail on straight with the action and the slots square accross . The result was when I mountyed a Vortex scope it was one click away from the windage center with reticle centered .That could be a few clicks in reality as there may be no exact center as far as counting clicks goes. It is very close to centered for practical purposes as the trajectory will tend to drift sideways a small amount anyway with precession, spin drift . [/QUOTE]
