I have mounted a 3X9 40 scope on my 30 06.
Midway had this neat pair of bubble levels that you mount on the scope adjustment cap and then put one on the receiver and that you match the bubble centers as you tighten the scope into the rings. Worked great, I am very happy that I have the cross hairs absolutely perfect.
Heres the set up to my question. I have a pair of Leupold rings. The front ring swivels into a dove tail. No variability there.
The back ring has adjustments screws that let you cinch each screw against a set which in turn wedges the set under a partial cut on each side of the receiver mount.
The problem is getting this setting exactly centered so that the scope line of sight is perfectly parallel to the barrel.
Lets assume that I get this within a 32nd of exactly centered.
When I adjust the scope for left or right bullet impact does my actual line of sight through the scope cross hairs then parallel the barrel? Or would I find that I was spot on at 100 yards and then find the bullet off to the left or right at 200 yards??
