I recently posted in another forum about a problem I was having, but didn't get many answers.. I recently bought a Stevens 200 with a heavy barrel in 223. I wasn't even aware that they existed but they do. Anyway, long story short, the barrel looked really good but it shoots 3 feet high and about a foot and a half to the right. It came with Leupold rings and bases and I used all the windage in the base and most in the Nikon scope and still shot right of the bull. I was also still 4-5 inchs high and no elevation adjustment left either. A friend had a new Savage heavy barrel and we installed it on my action and the problem went away. Now I know the problem is in the barrel but it looks fine. What should I look for that would cause a problem like what I was seeing? By the way, even though high and right, it grouped very well. Thats the other part that is messing with me. Thanks!!
