[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 812205, member: 12995"] It could very well be his reciever face needs squaring...But my money is still on misaligned holes. And I rarely see an older model Remington with misaligned holes or an out of square receiver....Especially recievers from the 60's to the early 2000's...That was back when Rem still had good QC. My Sendero SF is proof of that. That gun is a 2002-2003 model and it has been stacking 1 ragged hole groups since it was new. Then again, my 2011 model 700 5R .308 also does the same thing, but I've been told those, like all Rem's higher-end lines, are put together and fitted by hand by master gunsmiths, vs the mass-production factor. If his gun were a newer model ADL Wally World or Academy special, I might be a bit on the concerned side of things about the misalignment or out of square receiver, especially since those rifles are the factory seconds, that couldn't pass the cut as a BDL or CDL... Which for $379.99 makes them an excellent candidate for chunking the barrel & stock and starting a custom build on them, where you are going to true up the whole reciever anyway... [/QUOTE]
