My brother picked up his new .220 Swift, great looking rifle. One little problem, well actually it is a big problem. He put on the two piece Weaver bases that was given with the rifle. We have tried two sets of rings and two scopes.
The problem is, when the scope is mounted, and you look through a bore sighter (like the Leupold), the cross hairs are waaaay off to the right of the alignment grid. The scopes run out of adjustment before you can ever get it centered up in the sighter. Looking for suggestions here. Could it be bad bases ? Would he be better off with a one piece ? I'm thinking if Remington tapped the holes for the base off center, it would show up with a one piece base, as the screw holes wouldnt line up. He is a little warm under the collar about it. Picked up a brand new, $1000 gun and cant even shoot it. Just wanted to get some suggestions before calling Remington, thought it might be something simple we are missing.
Thanks in advance !
