So I got some Warne 30mm rings for a scope I got for my Savage 93R17 and they won't fit.....or more precisely, the rings will not tighten down onto the factory scope mounts that come with the Savate 93. I can torque them down as far as I dare yet the scope will rattle around as the rings do not tighten.
Is this an issue with the scope bases that come with the Savage or will the Warne rings not work on anything but a picatinny rail? I would have thought they were all the same, but it appears not.
Should I get some different scope bases?
Also,...Initially I couldn't get my reticle to go down far enough, so I put a shim on the back mount, then took it back out and discovered that I couldn't get the reticle to go to the left enough. And I'm talking by quite a lot. A good 10 inches at 100 yards. This scope was on an AR before and was just fine.
Any comments about this? I'm stumped. :-/
