Steve'o Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 On mounting scope mounts to the BSA supersport. Th mounts always lean to the left.this is noted on gap rifle to bottom scope mount as a noticable angle. Have used 2 peice mounts Hawkes and Accumounts and a one piece mount all do the same. It almost looks as if the short scope rail is not deep enough? Anybody else had this prob? Would BSA mounts be better? Would adj on scope compensate for this?

SNAKEBITE Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 mmmmmmmmm, without looking at it it is hard to tell but if all the mounts are burr free and new then something is definatly amiss. Is the gun new? if so then take it back to the shop and explain your problem, they might be able to see what the problem is straight away. If the gun is old then how did the scope get mounted before? Not a great deal of help, sorry, but hopefully someone else will have a few ideas. Oh and welcome aboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblade Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 does the scope mount securly? and are you able to zero the rifle in once its mounted? if so i wouldnt worry about it, but if you are there are mounts for these rifles as they are not a standard size dove tail mount.

SNAKEBITE Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 But if it does mount and zero correctly watch out for "cross over". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve'o Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Thanks for your veiws and help. Just taken off mounts which were had a burr and on placing a square on them were out of sq, got file out, seem to be sitting nice know. BSA supersport outfit from UTTINGS 4x32 scope and mounts. This 1st set mount were cut due to recoil and the short scope groove on the supersport, the scope groove cut very deeply into rear dovetail on mount. Such a recoil had to fitt arrestor block and maked with pencil to note any creep. On the BSA LIGHTNING from new has it got a fierce recoil as i read on this site BSA supersport and BSA lightning basically same rifle. BSA lightning xl whats the recoil like on them?
