O.K. picked up a Rem 700 SPS Varmint in 308win.It has the heavy barrel that is just under one inch at muzzle.
The thing was a tack driver out of the box and was shooting sub MOA at 200 yrds.
After maybe 100 rounds through it,shots started to wonder.Thought it was the scope so sent it back and got a better one.
Still the same.rechecked and torque Larue rail,Weaver 6 hole tactical rings and still will not hold zero.
Finally mounted my Leopold and Larue QD mount and still not good.
I can get a decent group but after about the third or fourth shot it goes low and to the right.
After cooling it will not return back to zero.
I now know it is the rifle but what caused it.Was it bad when I got it or did I do the damage.
I would think that heavy barrel could take constant shots with no problem and never too hot where barrel is smoking.
It is going back and Davidsons is sending a new one that will be here on Wednesday.
Any thoughts on this?
