[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 378796, member: 22335"] Even if you're [I]sure[/I] it's optically centered before you start? We don't doubt you're out of adjustment range now. It's just hard to believe that if the scope started out optically centered (key point) that it would run out of adjustment when trying to get it on paper at 100 yards. If it were me (and it's not, but... ) I would do this - - watch this movie [URL="http://www.burrisoptics.com/sigrings.html"]Scopes - rings by Burris Optics[/URL] - remove scope, and optically center as per the link in my post above - install Burris Signature rings. Also, when you order them get the pack of 3 inserts (5/10/20) so you can get it lined up ahead of time.
