3 days ago I shot about 20 rounds with a DNZ scope mount and a leupold vx3 scope on a remington 700 w/20" heavy barrel in a mcmillan stock. The Gun was shooting around 1moa. Then the groups totally opened up and I was all over the place (maybe 3-5 inch groups).
I took that scope off and didnt see any blue loctite so thought maybe the screws got loose. I took the entire scope off and put a trijicon and 20moa weaver rail on using vortex rings..
The scope is running out of windage and the gun is still shooting about 6 inches to the left.
Obviously the scope is pointing too far to the right but I have run out of adjustment.
I have tightened everything using a torque wrench and used blue loctite.
another issue is the groups are all over the place. Could there be any issues in the receiver that would cause this or is it definitely a scope mount problem?
What are the possible things that could be wrong and what are some things to test?
Here are some things I was thinking about:
I was thinking about was switching the rings front and back.
I was thinking about reversing the rings
I bought a laser boresight to see if I can get the scope more centered.
Anything else to do?
