Has the trigger on the gun ever been adjusted? I couldnt get consistant with mine until I adjusted it. It wasnt the guns fault, I was flintching. The trigger pull on a 700 is pretty steep, and no matter how you sike yourself out, you still know when the gun is gonna fire. I have also had a scope that the recticle came loose on. I would check that also. But the 1st thing to do, is have someone else shoot the gun.
