I purchased a rem 700 TI and cant get it to shoot a group under 4 inches. The ammo I have tried is the hornady interbond LM 130 gr. in .270, also the hornady LM boattail, and the federal prem. high energy trophy bonded. They all give me the same type of results. If anyone can please help I would deeply appreciate it.

I would first check your base and ring screws to ensure they are secure. Next, check the stock screws. They should be firm, but not heavy-handed tight. Gunsmith friend of mine had one brought in to his shop with a similar problem. With this Ti, he had to practically blueprint it. Bolt lugs didn't both touch, muzzle needed recrowning, bedding was terrible, etc. After all the work, the gun did shoot better, but not under an inch.

A hunting buddy of mine had a new Model 700 (not a Ti, though) in .300 SAUM that wouldn't shoot smaller than 5" groups.....at 50 yards! It was shearing brass off the cases with every shot. He sent it back to Remington and they replaced the gun. It had been machined BADLY off center. I would recommend you send this gun back to Remington post haste.
