I've recently been trying to mount a scope on a Super Blackhawk.
I purchased the weaver base and rings, mounted the scope, and shot it. It was OFF; 10" high and right at 15'.
After (far too) long of checking things out, I think the gun, not the mount, rings or scope, is off.
If I set the gun so that a level shows the rear-most part of the frame is level, the front of the frame is off, by a fair bit.
I've tried to use calipers to see if I could find a measurable difference between the sides, so I can tell where I should shim, but I haven't found any.
Is there any part of the revolver that I can use as a 'true' point to compare the top frame to?
Could the frame be twisted?
