[QUOTE="MachV, post: 1836715, member: 93"] Years ago I had a smith put a new 22-250 barrel on a wore out 243 Ruger. Boresighting the barrel has always got me on paper at 100 but could not get enough movement on the vxlll to get it zeroed, had to aim off paper to check groups. Take it back to the smith and he claimed the bore was not square in the barrel. So it was not his falt??? Left it there and told him to fix it, picked it up with the scope rings shimmed ***. The new 708 Abolt did what you are describing. Shoots alright but had to bring it in to 25 yards to find where it was hitting. Got it zeroed and rechecked boresighting to find it looked WAY off?? Kinda figured the barrel had to be bent as this is the first barrel in over a hundred that boresighting has not worked on. [/QUOTE]
