[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 2188763, member: 105"] You may have more than one issue here. You might not only have rings that aren't aligned with each other which will mean that they will immediately put torque on the scope barrel and probably dent the tube voiding the scope warranty but you will likely have the scope pointing no where near the POI of the barrel which will mean you'll have to use a LOT of adjustment to get on target and your scope will not be operating anywhere near the center of the mechanical adjustment range which can cause a lot of issues each time you try to adjust your crosshairs and the scope might not hold zero even if/when you finally do get it adjusted. IMO you might need (if possible) to start all over and drill new holes for a picatinny rail forward or back of the old ones that are aligned properly with the bore and THEN mount a picatinny rail. This will require a gunsmith with extensive experience with Mauser actions. [/QUOTE]
