My uncle brought a Remington 750 in .243 to sight in at my back yard range. Took a few rounds and figured out the scope if pointing skyward. Ran out of lower elevation and still shooting 3' high at 50 yards. Irons are dead on. Set the rifle up in my rest and put a .22 cal. range rod down the bore and leveled the rifle from there. The scope mount rail screwed to the top of the receiver had to be elevated 5/32" to make it come in level with the bore. Are these rifles just made this way or is the barrel out of whack to the receiver that much? We called Remington and they are sending a packing slip to send the rifle back to be checked out.
Is there a scope base that can be adjusted that much? At that much elevation for the rail I'd have to mill off too much of the rail to get it in line with the bore.
Next question, anybody know the twist rate for this rifle and what ammo would be a good bet for it?
Thanks
