Hey all you gun guys! I recently bought a Weatherby Vanguard .270. This is a used gun from the late eighties in immaculate shape. I bench rest shot several boxes of ammo thru it and I cannot get it to group closer than 2 inches at 100 yards. My groups at 200 yards aren't even "groups" - I'd barely feel comfortable shooting at deer from this distance! I feel confident that I am shooting consistantly. It has a Leupold 4X scope on it. I've tried Winchester 130 grain and Hornaday 130 grain. Where do I begin in troubleshooting this rifle??
