[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1829003, member: 26477"] I'm sure that someone might have mentioned it before but because I don't have the time to read all replies, I will leave mine regardless. Basically I see several possible scenarios. #1. Front and rear ring inserts got reversed. #2. Rail mount is mounted backwards. #3. If rings attach directly to the rifle (Ruger, CZ, SAKO, and some others) rings might be switched from front to back. #4. Zero Stop was previously set. #5. Rings are mismatched heights. #6. Turret is broken. #7. Scope mounted with windage adjustment on top (yes, I have seen this three times in my life). Remove the scope from the rings and run a straight edge touching the bottom of both the rings downwards to the end of your barrel with it long enough to hang over the ends of your action and barrel. Run a full length cleaning rod through your barrel extending it out over both ends of your rifle. Measure the distance between them in the front and the rear of your rifle. If the distance is smaller in the front than the rear, your problem is your rings or base mount. If the distance between is longer in front of your barrel than it is at the rear then, the problem is with your scope. [/QUOTE]
