Hello,
I got this mount and a Nikon 4x32 scope. Very easy to install or so it seemed, especially as the rings are mounted onto one long dovetailed piece. However once I took it to the range I found I had an issue where I must have "canted" it invisibly because when I sight it at 25 yards it shoots to the left at 50.
Is it crazy to take this style mount to a gunsmith for a professional install? I figure he can lap the rings and also install the scope so then all I need to do is properly sight it In and shoot. Instead of spending all sort of money on torque screwdrivers, lapping materials, several levels and a vise etc. Maybe it'll run me $25 for the job? For a 15 dollar mount and 90 dollar scope and a lot of "peace of mind". Shame that I will be going back to Tech Sights in the next 3-6 months probably for an Appleseed tho.
