Maybe you need some better glass and have them install by a professional gun smith. Nikon BDC's

Yeah... my Schmidt and Bender really sucks.... especially attached with that crappy talley base... and that scope and base was installed by a proffesional gunsmith, who also did a trigger job on the rifle.

There is not a factory load made for a 7mm-08 I haven't shot... the gun's best group with factory ammo was just a few tenths under 4" CTC at 100 yards. I have spend $100s (no exaggeration) on reloading bullets and powders and what not for that piece of **** and even after countless hours on the range and on the reloading bench, the best group that rifle has ever shot is just over 2" CTC.

I am convinced that either the chamber was reamed sideways, or something. I have no idea. But it is flat out unacceptable to me. I love the way the gun handles, I like the way it shoots (but not HOW it shoots), and I just bought a 12ga turkey barrel for the girlfriend. The 7mm-08 barrel and the broken ass wood stock is on its way back to TC. Turnaround time right now according to them is 6-8 weeks... thats how many they are working on... hell turkey season would be over by the time I got it back if I sent the frame too.
