Remington 700 accuracy issues.?

take it to a gunsmith.........

my guess is that it's one or more of the following:

1......... your action isn't sitting in the stock properly

2......... your scope isn't zeroed or mounted properly

3......... your ammo is poor quality

4......... you need shooting lessons

I would say something is wrong with the scope, if I had to guess. First I would buy a couple of boxes of factory ammo all of the same type, bullet weight and manufacturer. Cheaper than a new scope and rules out bad ammo, which could very well be the problem.

If the new ammo gives you the same results, then you have two choices. I would buy a new scope and mounts and try to get it to zero up. If you are still all over the place, I would take it to a gun smith as it sounds as if you are not too well versed in working on your own firearms. Without the proper torque tools and a good understanding of how to take the thing apart and put it together again, you won't fix it.

On second thought, if new ammo doesn't get it done, just take it to a gun smith. He will find the problem and fix it for you. If it is the scope he will mount the new one properly and boresight it for you.

9 times out of 10 its a scope or mount problem ... especially if the scope had to be adjusted by turning a turrent alot it unloads how secure the internal mounting holds it .. and good secure rings is paramount, DONT use loctite, thats a mistake ive seen a few times, alot of times the rings have a 'liner' that contacts the scope tube and loctite being anywhere near it turns it into a sticky goo substance that allows it to slide around with recoil ..

first why would you buy or use someone elses reloads? buy a box of factory ammo like hornady custom an then test it. check all screws are torqued properly. check muzzle for a bur.

I would start with a couple of boxes of factory ammo. Then a very solid rest for the weapon. Allow that most guns will shoot to a different point of impact as the barrel warms from use.

Get some decent ammo and try it. Ask again if you are still having problems.

Torque every screw to spec or at least an agreed upon value from an online forum. Action screws to scope mounts, to any screw you can find. Check to see that the stock and barrel "float" by doing the dollar bill slide under the barrel. Buy a box of factory ammo. Make sure the crown of the barrel isn't damaged. A well assembled 700 has the potential to be extremely accurate. What you need to do is scientifically isolate the variables.

Hard to say without seeing it. If that was my gun, I would try to isolate all the variables so that it's easiest to evaluate the guns performance and not the users ability. I would divide the range in half to 50 yards, buy a different brand of ammo, and try again from either a benchrest or prone with the rifle resting on a bipod/backpack/sandbags/etc.

If I still had problems, I would take it to a gunsmith and have him check it out. Anything that would throw shots that bad on a remington 700 is either user error or a competent gunsmith will be able to point it out in under 5 minutes.

It means you can't shoot! Get another hobby, like throwing knives at people.
