Scope base and mounts

[Doobie]

do it yourself I say
http://survivaltopics.com/boresighting-a-rifle/

The thing that trips people up and I see it all the time.
when bore sighting and you have the bore on target, you adjust like this
If cross hairs are above the target, you adjust UP not DOWN.
If cross hairs are right of target, you adjust RIGHT not LEFT.
Its the opposite as when your shooting to move the groups.
I have seen many people say, hey, the cross hairs are high, then move down and keep moving down till they get to the end of the adjustment, then say its a mounting problem.
Nope, they went the wrong way!

Use blue loctite on the screws too.

Good luck.

First time I ever bore sighted a rifle, I did just that and was wondering "WTH" lol

How far are you from cresap? I'm near Myersville and can take a look for you? I've got a bore sighter, torque wrench and levels.

Just a thought

Also, if your going to purchase a new base, please purchase a one piece base vs the 2 piece that's on it.

15 minutes and a one piece like the dnz game reaper

Now granted i can just be a horrible shot but would love a second opinion

Would love for you to take a look at my rifle for me whenever you are available

I mounted a flash suppressor on a rifle and need to re zero, was thinking Wednesday during the day? I'm a member at a local range, we could mount everything up and shoot a few to verify your zero?

If I get off work early enough Wednesday that can work but if not what other days are you available.

Thanks for all the advise. Besides me not shooting for crap i enjoyed the range time. I don't see how people say the 270 is not enjoyable to shoot.

Forgot to tell my girlfriend's father that it has a bit of recoil and to be observant of eye relief....he got bit, so I don't think he found it enjoyable. I died laughing

Lucky for me the eye relief was very generous and I shot with a thin jacket and t-shirt on i could've shot several boxes of ammo without issue

Yeah, those of us used to recoil don't mind. Her father is not a shooter in the least.

Do you plan to hunt Saturday with it? Rifle season coming up, so my spare time will likely be sitting in the woods.

Pretty sure we can get you on paper quickly, but if you just want to remount it, I can do that after dark

Well you definitely chose a nice caliber for your first. My first deer was gotten with a Winchester model 70 in .270

I'm no where good enough to be trying to hunt yet unless you mind me tagging along for the experience and i dont mind bringing it to you to have you look at it. I need a lot of practice i know that.

The first thing I do with any rifle I buy with premounted bases is to remove everything, clean and reassemble. That way I know how it was mounted. Also, while the bases are off, if you have a long straight edge, see if the screw holes are concentric with the bore.

I was a little worried because i've read and heard the 270 was sharp and unpleasant. sharp yes unpleasant no and i went all in with 130g loadsi could've shot until i got bored
