When I took my Remington 725 30-06 out this hunting season, I found the scope was all fogged up. Since I only had a few days before I was leaving for a week hunt, I checked out a few local stores and purchased a Leopold VX-I 3-9x40 scope. The store mounted and bore sited the scope.
The problem is that I can't group my shots even when shooting from sandbags on a table. The tightest 6 group set varied by about 5 inches in height and 9 inches in left/right at 90 yards. My brother and father were convinced it was me "pulling off". When my father arrived, I proved it wasn't my shooting capablity by shoot a 1" three shot group with his 7MM.
Even though my father reloads all of the ammo, I tested with different box of once reloaded and got similar results.
The gun is close to 50 years old but it was never shot that much so we don't think its the gun barrel rifling. Could it be? How can you tell?
Could this be the new scope? How it was mounted?
Any help would be a appreciated.
Thanks
