RE: sighting in scope...
Had this problem in a Weatherby Vangard rifle, ended up being the wrong mounts. The spacing allows you to fit Remington bases on the Weatherby but the height of the rear base is way off. I would check the bases before paying someone to "droop" your rings. Try a different brand or style of bases if you are sure that you have the correct ones. It is possible that the scope is not tracking properly but if it is new most likely not the problem.
