elevation problems on savage 25 17 hornet

[Serendipity]

I recently purchased a Savage M 25 WV. I haven't had any issues shooting mine with factory ammo. I started out at 25 yds., moved to 50 yds., then to 100 yds. Not sure if this makes a difference or not, but if you remove the stock, tighten the front screw first, then the rear as per instructions in the booklet. I don't have a high end scope on mine. I mounted a BSA "Sweet .223" scope. Hornady claims the 17 HH has the same ballistics as the .223 shooting a 55 grain bullet. That's the reason for the Sweet .223. Let us know how things work out.
