I just got a Savage 340 in 222 (paid $320); took off the Weaver 4X it came with & mounted a cheap 3 X 9 scope. In boresighting it (thru the bbl) I ran out of room adjusting POA to the right. Gun came with the weaver 2 piece mount. Can I shim this type of mount to take up some of the adjustment?
I would recenter the horizontal adjustment knob on the scope, boresight again after shimming & take up fine adjustments with scope knob.
There are 4 short screws that attach the mount to the reciever, but they don't look like they bite enough as is. Guess I could get 2 longer ones (depending on shim required, if it would work)
Has anyone else had this problem? I know it may be a crappy scope, but I don't have another to put on & I want more that the 4x for this round. thanks (already looked on the 340 thread via search)
