[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1836860, member: 91783"] This is a Ruger 17WSM ? So then doesn't it have the same Ruger mounting system as the other Ruger's ? You have to use Ruger scope mounting rings is that correct ? You can take the scope out of them and lay a lapping bar in them to check how well they are aligned to each other and the barrel . If they are off by much take it back or contact Ruger. You may want to take it out of the stock and look at the bedding and the barrel channel for pressure points . Check that the action screws are torqued to the proper specs . I found that bedding the action and having a pressure pad on the fore end for the barrel to ride on and come to rest in the same place with the smaller calibers in Ruger's has some merit . It doesn't take much just enough to fill the gap between the two and be smooth instead of the X that is machined into the stock on the wooden stocks especially . Ruger's are a breed of their own patterned off of the old Mouser actions with some changes that Bill Ruger made to make them better for his uses . A lot of people haven't been around them as much as they have Remingtons Browings or Winchesters [/QUOTE]
