Default RE: Remington model 7 accuracy

I have a model seven in 260rem and it is one of the best rifles I have ever bought.
It is very fast handling and comes to my eye like a good shotgun, I have had great success with it out to 250m. (even on rabbits)
If I fire a lot of shots in the space of a few minutes then groups will start to string vertically but on game I haven’t noticed this at all and it has proven to be quite a one hit wonder with very few occasions requiring a follow up shot, I put this down to the handling and balance of this rifle and the confidence I feel when using it.
I prefer to use lower magnification scopes for game animals I use a 2.2-7X36 Kahles on it with low mounts and I find it helps the balance of the outfit a great deal and improves my performance with it immensely, I have tried to use larger scopes on it but I feal that it throws the balance right off.
