darren_mc Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 just been out to set up my cz 222 with 8x56 doctor optic and t4 mod. i have got the scope adjusted as far left as it will go but, i am still about 2 inches to the right of bull. and what size groups should i get at 100 yards. out of a 5 shot group 3 will be about 1 inch the the other 2 are in about 2 1/2 to 3 to the outside of them. thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 You should be putting three shots into 1" or less at 100 yards. Is the barrel fully floating, or it there some impediment to it vibrating freely? Is it giving the same results irrespective of the mod being fitted? I'd start by dismantling, cleaning and reassembling the mounts. I'd remove the action from the stock and clean everything down, reassembling it carefully and torquing the action screws consistently. Shoot it without the mod. CZ and Docter both make good, solid kit. I'd put money on the muzzle threading and/or mounts being the weak link.

casts_by_fly Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 are they windage adjustable mounts? My millets on the AH were 18" out at 25 yards when I first put them on. I centered the scope's adjustment range, then centered the scope with the mounts. Fine tune with the clicks. Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren_mc Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 there is some pitting on the crown would that cause it to shoot off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjimmer Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Is it feasable to reverse the mounts? Try doing one at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milligan Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 With that kit a 1" group is to be expected. First, I'd try it without the mod - if it works fine then it be clipping on exit. If it doesn't, check the crown. Next; If as you say, your scope is out of adjustment then I suspect that it is out of alignment with the bore, loose mounts would be my first suspect when it comes to the grouping. You can set your scope to the middle of it's adjustment, bore sight at 25yds and then shim the scope until it lines up. Camera Film works well.

ollieb84 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ive just had the same problem its all about the base of the mounts, you need a new set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignoel Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 mine was the same it turned out to be the mount base it was so frustrateing but back on track now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I wouldn't touch windage-adjustable bases with a bargepole. It's a weak and very crude method of attaching a scope, and there are much better solutions for similar money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren_mc Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) just had a look at it took the stock of, it was touching at the very end of the fore end. and has been for some time you could see the wood was black,and the barrel was marked. i have sanded it all down and the nut on the back of the sling stud, and its free now.i have oiled the bare wood i will put it back together and if its not windy in the morning will give it a go. thanks for all your help Edited May 21, 2009 by darren_mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I wouldn't touch windage-adjustable bases with a bargepole. It's a weak and very crude method of attaching a scope, and there are much better solutions for similar money. Ditto. Had a set of Millet mounts for about a day, pointless IMO. If everything is true why would you need that much adjustment in the rings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 some guns have screw holes drilled out of center. The windage mounts will correct for it. I happen to like the millet angle locs. I have them on my 22, 223, and 17AH. Aside from setting up my AH poorly (my fault) I've not had a single fault. Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjimmer Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 some guns have screw holes drilled out of center. That's why I suggested reversing one of the mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
