I an "new" to rifle shooting and I am not sure if I have a rifle or scope problem or of course it could me just me that is not shooting well.
I have 243 Savage and 270 Remington 700. I can shoot small groups with the Savage. Say 1-2 inches at 100 yards. But with the Remington I get 5-6 inch groups with different kinds ammo. I took the scope and mounting hardware off and remounted tightening everything with torque wrench and lock tight. The scope on the 270 is a Nikon 3-9 x 40 buckmaster. Also, I have shot my friends remington 700 .308 with a cheap scope and hit bullseye at 300 yards. So I do not think it is me but you never know. Kind of frustrated since I like the rifle If can get it to shoot straight. I think I have eliminated ammo and loose mounts. Only things left is the rifle itself or the scope.
Any suggestions in getting this rifle to get respectable groups?
