i bought a rem 722 in 308 made in 1955 at a very good price in ex condition that was full lenth glass bedded, it had weaver bases on it and i mounted a 12x leupold on it to see how it would shoot. the only shells i had were 175 smk,s with 43grs varget that i shoot in my match rifle,well it shot them into 3/4" groups, but they were four inches left of center with the adjustment turned to the wall. i remover the scope and weaver bases and found that the front mounting screw holes in the reciever were off center(maybe why it was a good price). i mounted a redfield base with the windage adjustments on the rear and now have a ex glass bedded rem 722 in 308. eastbank.
