I was helping an elderly friend from the gun club recently, who purchased a Savage 12 in 22-250. It is a varmint model with the heavy, ss, fluted barrel.
Here is the problem:
- Bore sighting (Looking down the barrel with the bolt out) the bore is on the target at 50 yards.
- Scope was put on target as well (We tried the Nikon Prostaff and Leupold VX-3)
- The bullet lands 12" right and 6" high
- Why?
Here is the kicker:
- The gun holds 1MOA at 100 yards, so it IS ACCURATE
The barrel crown and bore look fine.
Anyone have an idea on how this happens?
