[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 2811991, member: 108323"] The 20 MOA rail is mostly the problem. Your 15" at 10 yds would correspond to ~1000yd zero with a 90gr bullet at 3000fps. Rifle elevation is about 30 MOA above line of sight. For a 100yd zero you need only about 3.3 MOA so you are taking out 26 MOA to get to 100yd. If you leave the rail as is you may need to adjust for a longer zero. Remingtons often have an issue with mounts. My 2 700s are the opposite. I had to get 20 MOA rails to have reasonable adjustments left for 100yd zero. I suspect that the real issue has to do with either recoil lug flatness or the receiver/barrel connection. [/QUOTE]
