[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 787802, member: 39764"] I find it interesting that you hand load but don't mount your own optics. I never allow anyone to mount anything on anything except me. You have an issue with the mount. Could be improperly torqued mounting screws (base to receiver), cocked rings (rings to base), rings not concentric (did the installer lap the rings?), or if it's a Viper, the zero stop shims are installed. They should never be installed until after the rifle is zero'd at your required distance and then and only then, is the elevation adjustment turret removed and shimmed to '0'. (If the rings weren't concentric and the scope was installed and the ring screws tightened, the rings could have deformed the tube) (that would explain the windage issue and if the tube is deformed), you have no recourse, Vortex, nor any manufacturer for that matter, will warrant any scope with a damaged tube, period. I do my own mounts and mounts for others but I treat everyone like it was my own. [/QUOTE]
