[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 787886, member: 10291"] I agree with sidecarflip. It is unlikely that anything is off with the rifle, very likely that the scope was improperly mounted. I own four Reminton 5R Milspecs, 3 308's, and one 300WM, the most recent acquired a couple of months ago. Interesting thing about them is that the are all within a few MOA when Mark 4, 0 degree bases, and Mark 4 medium rings were mounted with a centered reticle Mark 4, or Nightforce scope. If .020" bases are used, approximately one turret revolution will put you on zero for 100-200 yards. All my Milpec 308's are dimensionally the same, including chamber dimensions, even though they were bought years apart. They appear to be assembled similarly to the military contract rifles, not the regular production line at Remington. I'm not implying that you have to use Mark 4 bases, or a particular scope, but I do think that mount/ring set up on your rifle is not compatible, or improperly mounted on your rifle. The group size you show is consistent for this rifle with the load you are using. Once you get the scope set up properly you will have one helluva good rifle! [/QUOTE]
