I'm kinda' sick about this....
I spend A LOT of time researching and handling all kinds of different rifles before I finally ordered a Remington 700 XCR and a Zeiss Conquest 3.5X10X44mm. scope.
Finally got the scope mounted like I wanted it and took it out to sight it in today.
I've got a Ruger M77 and a old Remington BDL that shoulder like a fine shotgun for me. I can quickly shoulder them even with my eyes closed and then open my eyes and I'm looking right through the scope.
This new Remington is.....awquard.I cant seem to shoulder it quickly, and even when I get it right I'm finding myself bobbing my head around to get a clear view through the scope.
Am I just not used to the gun yet or do some rifles just not "fit" a particual person?
If I can't get used to my new gun pretty quickly I'm going to have to put it up for sale. I'm seriously sick about this. I spent a ton of time and a wad of money on this setup and it just doesn't seem to work well for me.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm lost here... You did, or did not handlean XCRbefore ordering one???
If you "did", you should have known what you were getting. If you "didn't", then you should have checked one out before ordering one...
Would it help to change the height of the rings???
