[QUOTE="merbeau, post: 1703908, member: 38494"] I recently picked up a near mint 36x B&L to place on my modified Rem 700 customized to 25-284 for 600 yard shooting. I came home centered the cross hairs using the counting method and mounted the scope with Warne picatinny one piece base and Warne rings. Leveled my shooting rest on my table which was also level and placed the rifle in my shooting rest. Made sure the rifle was level and bore sighted barrel to distant target (telephone pole). Mounted scope and leveled it. Cross hairs were way to the right. After adjusting windage ran out of adjustment. Called Warne and they said Rem are known for having their mounting holes misaligned to the bore. I have a floor laser that I used for measuring room dimensions. Took it and set behind rifle and ran laser down mounting holes. The laser line was down the center of the rifle's barrel. Took a feeler gauge and found one that would just shim under bell housing of scope. Over the course of a 90 degree turn there was no gap suggesting the scope is not bent. There are no ring marks or dents on the scope. Next I tried to reverse the rings and same problem. Finally, placed another scope on the mounts and they were within a few clicks of the bore sight. Could the actual scope reticle be non centered? That is, canted left or right. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
