I took my new Savage Mdl 10 .243 down to Academy Sunday to have my scope bore-sighted. I didn't look very closely at the mount until I was at the range yesterday. First two shots high and right, but touching! Feeling pretty good about the situation so I went to adjust the scope, and this is where the trouble began.
First, the toe on the base of the rings was not in the slot on the mount, rather the clamps were tightened down onto the angled edge of the base. Second, the windage and elevation adjustments were maxed out, literally you could not have gone up or left any, and it was not just at the edge of adjustment, it was tight!! Took the rifle back to Academy and made sure I had somebody who knew what they were doing fix it. They put new bases, aligned the scope and bore sighted.
Back at the range finally, shoots appx. 2.5" left and appx 1" low. Move the elevation up 8 clicks and its on. moved the windage 20 clicks right and it is still appx. 1" right. I ran out of daylight and ammo so I dont know what adjustment is left, but does this seem normal? Did the first Academy yahoo mess up my scope?
