Hey there,
Been trying to sight in my new Remington 700 XCR in 300wsm. Problem is, I cannot get it to hold a good pattern, or any patternless than8 inches or so at 100 yards. I have a new Nikon 3x9 Buckmasters mounted on it. I have tried Federal Fusions in 165 and 180 grains (shot the worst) and Federal Premiums Accubonds in 180 grains (2 boxes), which shot better but still not to my liking. I thought initially it may be me, but my 30-06 and Knight muzzleloader I can get awesome groups/hits with both at 100 yards.

My question: Do you think it may be a scope problem? The scope is tightened all around. I would assume that a messed up scope would shoot worse(??)...but I don't know. I cannot think of anything else that it would be. Is there a way to determine if it's the scope?? Any ideas?? This thing is expensive to have roughly shot 80 shots through to no avail!
