[QUOTE="Sully2, post: 574021, member: 31820"] Brad: Id also suggest you remove it and start all over again. Im not a big believer in lapping scope rings...and I wont go into all the details though..at least not here. Get the top half of the rings OFF and make sure the ring is tight; clean...etc...etc. Top half clean also...etc. Lay the scope in the bottom half of the rings ONLY and very gently slide it fwd and aft...basically with little or almost no pressure on it. If it slides....your good to go. Lay the top half on them and start a proper tightening sequence and if you dont have one of those ounce inches torque screwdrivers...then use the torx wrench that came with the rings and only gasp the short end of it. Make sure reticule is lined up and square and tighten down ( and it dont take much) using ONLY the short end of the little wrench....NOW go to the range At FIFTY yards set up a target with a night big RED dot ( I cant see the black ones for crap). With the rifle sandbagged remove the bolt and BORE SIGHT the rifle. Re-insert the bolt and fire ONE ROUND. Do this at 50 yards...its lots easier to see holes at 50 yds. Its also helpful if you know the published trajectory of your load... You know...1" hi at 50 yds makes you 1.5 inches high at 100 yds...also 2.5" high at 200...etc. Once you get it shooting where its suppose to at 50...then back off and try it at 100 and 200...etc Where did it hit? Move the reticule to that hole. Dont matter if you move it 1 click or 20 clicks...you got to have that cross hair on that bullet hole. Fire a second round. Did it hit where you aimed? If not..do it all over again..even if you have to re-bore sight ( this time on that hole..not the bullseye) and go at it again. It will coem around for you [/QUOTE]
