windage adjustable bases ?

What do you have on there now for bases?

I am not aware of a windage adjustable base, however there is the leupold style front dovetail and rear windage base and rings. It has 2 large windage screws that hold the rear rings and allow minor windage adjustment. I had one of these windage screws break on a 7mmRemMag, so I don't use them anymore but there are alot of people who do.

 

I'm assuming (big word) that you're using Burris Signature rings?
If so, are your inserts being used to alter the scope left-to-right, up-and-down, or both? Would you mind explaning a bit more about your setup? Any pictures?

I've had to use a +/-20 insert with a +/-10 insert with a dual dovetail system to get it all lined up where I wanted. No windage adjustments available when using dual dovetails or some other bases, so you have to do it all with the inserts. And, you may need +/-20s both front and back.

 

Please don't take this wrong but did you get the inserts in right? only reason I ask is that when I got mine I put them on the wrong side the first time out. Later,

I would look at what was jacked up on my action. You shouldn't need that much windage plus inserts and still not on target, that seems a little extreme but then I haven't ran into that before.

 

I raninto that problem on the first rifle I built, I just used the drill jig and thought it would be good, oopise on my part. I have changed calibers on this action and went to a 1" scope and ran into the lack of windage adjusment so I went with the burris rings and got everything figured out the second time, yep I put the inserts in the wrong direction. Oh well all is good now and the rifle hits where it's supposed to. Did you set the inserts to trow the back one direction and the front the other way? if you have the inserts with the same offset on the same side it's not gonna change much, +on the right and - on the left? I'm just shooting in the dark here. Later,

I had the same thought.

 

Wow, seems like you might have to try a different base/rings.
Good luck!

If you want to buy new rings and it is a weaver style base look at Millet Angle Lock for windage adjustable rings

 

Something I found out the hard way recently... the inserts that Burris supplies aren't always labeled correctly, nor are they always the right measurement even if the labeling is correct. Most are, but not all.

For 30mm inserts, they should measure 0.110" thick for +10, 0.100 for '0', and 0.090" for -10. I have several '+10' inserts that measure 0.090", which can really cause some headaches.

Check 'em with a set of calipers across the center with the thin part of the blade.
