[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 378948, member: 22335"] Then you need to do it! :) I've even provided the instructions! :D My point is that it's probably way off center now because it was adjusted to fit your previous rifle and now you're trying to adjust it again to fit your current rifle. By doing so you've made it so far out of whack that it won't work. When you mount a scope in traditional rings you "always" have to bring the crosshairs down to meet the point of impact. You've now increased the problem by trying to do it on 2 rifles. If it were brought "back to square one" by centering it I think you could use the Talleys and be fine. This is assuming, of course, that the Talleys aren't a part of the problem. I still believe that you could return the scope to its optical center (via the info in the link a few posts ago, which takes less than 2 minutes of your time), mount it back on your current rifle and have zero issues. Not that I haven't been wrong before, but... :D Here's an easy test: Remove it, and follow the mirror recentering trick from the other forum: Place a mirror on the objective housing (I usually place a mirror on my workbench and have a light shining at the mirror from the side, then have the scope objective rest on the mirror). Look through the eyepiece and you will see the actual reticle and its reflection. Adjust both turrets until the actual cross hair covers its reflection. I think you'll find that the reflection is waaaay off where you see the reticle. If it is, then you will likely be able to reinstall it and go. If it's not, then try the adjusted base or the Burris rings. You are supposed to re-center it anyway before installing it on new bases, so why not try it and see how far out of whack it is? Let us know how it's going! [/QUOTE]
