Trouble sighting rifle, need help!!

I meant make sure the stock isn't putting pressure on the barrel. In had to get my stock fixed

 

Do you think using sand bags and my shoulder as a support would work better?

 

yes! for sure give it a shot. No pun intended.

 

Oh I see, yes I'll check, thanks. Run a bill though it , right?

 

Lol

You can skip forward in this video to see the technique I was describing using that rest.

 

I've shot out of that type of sled before and I still held my rifle as I normally would,prefer sandbags for the fore end and that's it personally.sounds like it's just some float in the rest being used to me

 

If I remember , I think i sighted my last rifle with just a bipod and have 1 inch groups at 100 yards. I'm going to try the sand bag in the front .

 

make sure the bolts that mount the stock to the action are properly torqued and there is no movement of the action in the stock.
Nice looking rifle. I have the earlier version, the A-Bolt and love it.

 

That's a good way to go as well,that rifle should be a tack driver for sure...the scope makes me drool lol

 

Thanks , I have an a bolt too. You think it can come not torqued properly from factory ?

 

I had a new Remington that was lose. Just 1 easy thing to rule out.

 

Lol, thanks ! That's why I'm upset ! I spent so much and it shoots like crap. Lol . My old browning 270wsm that I bought in 2002 with a leupold vx-2 shoots 1 inch groups. Lol

 

Came lose new? I need to check it out.

 

Yes, came lose new. When you installed your scope, did you follow the manufacturers installations instruction for the base and rings? Double check the screws. Even though you used lock-tight, they may have come lose.

 

I have two Abolts, love them very accurate too

 

I didn't use a torque wrench but I tightened everything tight . While at the shooting range I double checked , and everything was tights.

 

I agree with the guys suggesting to check your stock touching the barrel and also checking the torque on your action screws. It is possible to over torque your scope rings and I have seen that cause horrible groups. with an expensive set up like that, why not use a torque wrench? You can get the wheeler one for fairly cheap. Even with shitty ammo your groups should be better

 

Yes I am planing on buying one. Thanks !
I know It should be shooting tight groups.

 

I agree 100%. Let us know how it shoots after this.
