[QUOTE="huntoregon, post: 2017307, member: 77911"] My brother in law has an elk hunt that starts next Saturday and he recently bought a Tikka T3X Lite chambered in 300 win mag. We mounted a Leuplod VX5-HD 3-15 x 44 scope in Leupold BackCountry 2 piece mounts. We have shot a few different types of factory ammo all 180 grain bullets to try and zero but this thing is all over the place. I see this rifle has a 1:11 twist, I would assume that should stabilize 180 grn bullets but I bought some 150 grain to try again tomorrow. I torqued the bases and ring caps to what Leupold recommended. We shot off sandbags from a table and prone off the ground. Then tried a lead sled prone. Inconsistent groups each time. Any ideas or suggestions from some of you more experienced guys? [/QUOTE]
