[QUOTE="manels1111, post: 1001266, member: 84628"] Hi guys not sure if this is the right forum, I've gathered a lot of information from this forum but never posted before and in need of some help. My father and I were looking recently to build a longer range rifle and decided on a Remington 700 xcr II 300 rum. The xcr II is a very light about 7.25 pounds or at least seems very light to us. We decided on the nightforce shv 4x16x56. We ended up getting the Talley light weight 1 peice rings that take no base but aren't connected to each other if that makes sense. We have literally shot 100 rounds through the gun and can't get it sighted in. My dad 50 shots and then me 50 shots thinking my father was shooting bad. But the best grouping we've gotten is 3 shots within 2inch's of each other at 100 yards, but most times were 4 inch groupings. About 75 shots have been on a lead sled to try to figure out whats going on but to no avail. We've torqued the scope rings to factory spec with a torque wrench with blue locktite. Checked them after shooting. We also broke in the gun properly. We are starting to think that the heavier shv scope on the light weight xcr II that the talley light weight rings are not handeling the kick is the only thing we can think of. We are not expert marksman but we have zero'd in a few rifles including just recently 1917 remington with no problems as we are encountering at the moment. Does anyone have any idea's or recommendations for us? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Josh [/QUOTE]
