[QUOTE="lever-hed, post: 259972, member: 11667"] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]..this is not uncommon, unfortunately, for mfr to misalign the base screw holes. Firstly, I would check make sure your scope(s) are centered before mounting. Adjust windage / eleva all the way over (then go all the way back counting clicks) then come back ½ way. You could be mounting the scope with the windage knob adjusted mostly to the right side, causing you to think your rifle’s screw holes are off center.
