Hello,
I have a Saiga in 308 with a side rail for a scope mount. When I put the mount on and tried to sight it in, the scope ended up more than a foot low at 25 yards, with the scope maxed out.
The mount looks like it would be adjustable. It is an all-in-one, complete with rings. It is made of three separate pieces, with 2 screws holding the each of the top and bottom pieces to the middle section. One flat head screw and one a pan head, each going into a nut on the back of the mount. It looks like you should be able to loosen up the screws and do a gross adjustment to the POA/POI, but the pieces are pinned together, in addition to the screws.
There is no manufacturers name that I can see on the mount, unless it is Cyrillic, and I am mistaking it for a decoration. I bought it used, so it did not come with any paperwork. I have looked at various side mounts on the 'net, but I haven't seen anything that looks similar.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I am wondering if the scope mount is manufactured this way, or has it been modified?
Also, any suggestions on a fix? The only thing I can think of is shimming the scope inside the rings.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Rick
