[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 974242, member: 2736"] There are several ways to fix this problem. One is to have a smith use a mill and inlarge the site base screw holes (He can bore them with a plunging mill straight and threas them with 8x32 or 10 x 24 taps and then bore out the bases to fit the screws. Another way is to buy a set on Windage adjustable bases from Leopold or Redfield and install them. they have a huge amount of Windage adjustment. Set the Windage adjustment half way on the scope, bore sight the rifle bore, and adjust the rear base (It has the Windage adjustment) until the POI is close and tighten everything up and do the final adjustment with the scope turrets. years ago this was quite common and the scopes did not have but about 10 MOA of adjustment so this type of bases were necessary. The only other thing that I can think that might be wrong is the scope may have a problem with the adjustment or the reticle may not be optically aligned (Now most of the reticles are lazed directly to the lens and could be off). Good luck. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
