[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 300505, member: 13285"] Two inches at 30 yards is not that far off. It is only just over 6 MOA at 100 yards. You should be able to get your windage accross that far. After all you have a 20 MOA rail fitted and you should be able to still center the cross hairs in the vertical with that. Have you tried the original scope on the new base? Try spinning the base about 180 degrees, as you did with the rings. It will be pointing up instead of down but it may give you an idea of what's going on. If the old bases aligned the old scope OK then the screw holes are most likley OK. I would center the windage turret in the middle of its travel then fire a shot at a target to see where the actual point of impact lies. This will give you some true data to work from. If it is that far off the target that you are not happy with it. Then the next thing that I would do is run a micrometer over your rings and base set up. If it is that far out you should be able to pick it up with your measurements and compare it against the point of impact from the shots you fired. [/QUOTE]
