I have a heck of a time trying to get good groups at 100yds. Thinkin it could be flinching but not sure. Is there a gun rest that takes the human error out of siting in a rifle. This is with 7mm RM browning bar unless the old weaver sdcope is buggered. It sucks using $2/ shell to site in.
 
There are lots of options to help zero but if you have a bad flinch....you will still have one after it is zero'd and you will miss....when you least want to. May I suggest and exercise. Have a buddy load your rifle. He will load a live round a couple of times and then insert a fired casing or dummy round. If you have flinch....you will know it. Concentrate on your breathing and slowly releasing the trigger so you get a surprise clean break....by having the dummy round in the mix....you will conquer your flinch.

Another thing you might check is to make sure that your scope ring / base screws are all tight.

I have a PAST recoil pad (you wear it over your shoulder) and it takes quite a bit of the sting out of recoil when shooting from the bench. It might help if you are flinching.
 
Have you tried dry firing your rifle at the range? You will actually be surprised on how much you move or tense up. Keep dry firing untill you can control your flinching then try a few live rounds.
 
Try sighting in at 25yds first. 3 shots, no adjusting anything. Get some confidence then back it up to 100yds....If it kicks you too bad, trade 'er off and get something smaller.
 
Big old semi , should be shooting great, check all mounting from the bases on up for tightness. then check if your poi changes with scope adjustment. This will tell you whats up with the scope. Ie. when on paper, move 4 clicks right , shoot and see what happens, try in the vert. also. Best I can think of. Once these checks are done, on to the rifle, and bore etc....
