[QUOTE="just country, post: 1165127, member: 82689"] morning, did u torque the mounting screws? u r supposed to tighten all mounting screws equally. what make rifle is this? on ruger m77's a person is supposed to tighten the front screw first, torque. tighten the back screw and torque. do not get annoyed. think everthing thru. u did not touched the bases. some rifles have a different mount for the front mounting ring. 1 is higher than the other. as far as the elevation of the scope. use a boresigther to zero the hairs in the scope. this will normally give u a hit the target shot. take the rifle to the range. sight at 25yrs. zero the cross hairs. move to 50yrs. shoot the rifle 2 shots. zero cross hairs. more to a 100yds. shoot 2 shots. then correct. what is the power of ur scope? u can not shoot what u can not see. mudrunner was right on in the sighting!! Contact Russo is a very good rifle builder, see if he can help u. I have a new 340 weatherby accu-mark. shoots .500 groups constantly. Problem is the rifle shoots 3" low with the scope elevation maxed out. I loosened the scope. put 2 .020 shims under the scope on the frnt ring. shot again came to zero. took out .020 shims put in .045 shims. tightened. plenty of height adjustment. the bases r warne steel, rings r high warne steel. used aluminum beer can for shims. u can correct this problem with knowledge u will find on this site. go to the search mode. put in ur question. u will gain much knowledge!!lightbulb [/QUOTE]
