[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1348812, member: 78569"] I've been slowly moving my sporter rifles bases over to EGW rails so I can move my nice Zeiss scope back and forth between guns. Yesterday was my first test. I found that on one rifle, the scope's horizontal adjustment was near zero. Then moving to another rifle, it was off by 2' at 100 yards. I swapped the rings front to back and back to front (TPS rings) which brought it down to needing 8" more of horizontal adjustment than available. I plan to spin the rings around so the base ring nut is on the other side of the rifle and try again. However, I 'm not sure this will work but even if it does on one rifle, it will be significantly off on the other rifle. I don't want to lap the rings on one gun as I'm afraid it will make the zero worse on the other. Any suggestions? It also seems that if I move the scope between guns, the level between the scope and the rifle will be different for each gun. Seems like this plan isn't so much modular but requires lots of sighting in every move. [/QUOTE]
