Alright guys, I've sighted in several scopes and don't need basic advice on sighting one in.
I do however; have a scope that is mounted, clicked all the way over, and still is 2 feet off to the right at 100 yards so something is not lined up on this rifle. I'm trying to find the source of the problem and I'm sure the rings are at fault.
The Rifle is a CZ 527 varmint in .223 and the Scope is a Simmons Aetec 2.8x10x44, both seem to be great quality items. The rings are of unknown origin but seem to be well built and of good quality
I've never had to shim a scope and wonder if it's worth doing or should I just search for a new set of rings? I have even thought of filing the rings on each corner to square it up. I don't know if they are at fault and I also don't want to ruin the finish on any of this stuff since it is in great shape.
Any suggestions? Thanks, Eric
