STOMP442 Report post Posted May 12, 2014 Have you tried using a windage adjustable base and the Burris zee rings? You might be able to take up enough to at least get it zeroed and the plastic inserts won't allow the scope to pinch and bind. Worth a shot what's another 60 bucks. Worse case it doesn't work and you sell the rings and bases in the classifieds and get your money back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have spent enough , and don't want a defective rifle. Its on its way to remington at no cost and the only fix I can see is to replace the action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctracingraptor Report post Posted May 12, 2014 North Phoenix Sportsmans Warehouse has excellent service. Terry at the gun counter is very knowledgeable, and i trust his opinion. I rarley shop anywhere else, nor do i like to deal with anyone other than Terry. Glad it's going back to Remington without any issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murfys69law Report post Posted May 29, 2014 Just to add to the "5guyshunting" story. I am a personal friend of his and shoot pretty well. I was with him when he was trying to sight this POS in. I shot it 3 times and couldn't believe the group. I even started questioning myself. Was I getting that old & blind and couldn't hit a 100 yard target better than a 6 inch group? Thank goodness it was the screw mounts being tapped wrong (Remington crap). I can now shoot my own rifles and not think I'm blind and over the hill. Me thinks Remington should replace the $100.00 plus worth of ammo he waisted and his psychiatric visits he went to as well..... Just saying. ps: I took that picture of him and his son when he shot that deer so I KNOW he can shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grey curse Report post Posted February 3, 2020 6yr old post. Don’t think reloading was the issue. Scope mounts if I remember correct. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
