unclemicky Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Rch/Martin could this be a case of the rear scope mount needing to be undone and a thin packing piece placed under it and then replacing the top piece of the scope mount thin piece of negative film, tin foil, paper, etc you get the picture Edited March 20, 2009 by unclemicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I seem to remember that for best results you need to screw the adjusters all the way one way and then count the turns until it stops the other-then set the scope half way-the mounts (check that they are the same height) should then be shimmed to bring the scopes impact to average centre.

That's disgusting. i spent 350 on a cheap shottie from my local gunsmith, had a problem with it he told me to fetch it down that day and he would sort it for tomorrow, So after you spending 700 and not doing anything about it for over half of a week i would demand my money back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
