I was hoping you guys could help me troubleshoot this build;
The project rifle was a good shooting Rem 700 in 222. I pulled off the stock barrel and installed a Northland Criterion Remage barrel in 223 Match chambering, with flat ground recoil lug, and put it in a new stock and bedded it. I used the same Golden Eagle scope and same 2 piece, Burris Signature dual dovetail mounts/rings. The rings used were the offset inserts giving 20 MOA elevation. I made SURE to assemble the inserts correctly, same as in the original build.
Problem: rifle shoots at least 44 MOA to the left, and about 20 MOA high. The 20moa high is what I wanted, but where did the 40moa bondage come from? I can't zeroth rifle, even when using all of the available clicks. I would appreciate any help or guesses, before I start digging into this problem. Thanks in advance!
