I took everything apart, all seems to be tight. I used a ruler to measure the bases (two separate ones) and they seem to be perfectly aligned, which I had suspicion of because at one time, this gun shot PERFECT. Nothing changed, just time. It has not been bumped around, or messed with at all. It is a synthetic stock, not wood so warping would not be an issue as far as I know. Bob is right, the scope functions fine, it just runs out of windage. Its screwed all the way down but I still need another inch or so of adjustment. The holes being offset is a good explanation, but like I said, it did shoot fine at one time. I like those rings with the inserts from burris. I will give them a shot. I want to shoot the gun one more time before I change things. Maybe today by removing everything, and tightening everything up fixed the problem. I'm trying to be optimistic here, but I honestly don't think anything changed because everything was tight and looked clean. You know, now that I think about it, Maks shot this gun before I did at Ft. Dix. . . I'll bet he broke it. :evil: No problem, now he owes me a new swarovski scope.... this one will work I suppose. And look it even qualifies for free shipping Maks!!!!

How bout this? "The rear is secured by windage adjustment screws" Does that mean the base is adjustable? http://leupold.com/hunting-and-shooting ... td-mounts/

Excellent, I'm glad you told me....I'm trying to find them now...I'll post a link.

Yeah, sure sounds like it. The "victim" probably mouthed off to him or something. Maybe stole his parking spot in the lot. Who knows. If this was just a completely random thing, the guy would not be in his right mind to pay for his ham.

Thanks.....I will order them right now. Hopefully they will be here by next Wed for Ft. Dix!!!!!!! lol

lmao....wtf? Crazy.

I don't believe there are any adjustments on the rings. None that I can see anyway. Do you think I should purchase a set of adjustable rings? No adjustments on the base either.

Ok, here goes it. I have a simmons model 800116 8-32x44 mounted on my Savage .308. I have not used the gun in about 2 years. I took it out to ft. dix the other day and had to re-zero it in. I shoot 3 shots wayyyyy right, but grouping fine. I adjust the scope about 2" to the right, and it brings them closer to the target spot, but still about an inch off. The problem now is I go to adjust the windage again and it only allows me to turn the knob 2 or so clicks. Its bottomed out......there is no more room for adjustment. Any clue as to why? Is there a fix? I removed the knob to see if there are any internal adjustments but not that I can see. Is it busted? It is by no means a very expensive scope, but I've had it for a while, and really enjoy it. Here are some photos with one of the knobs removed. . . .

I figured that from your name I've been going to Marc Chalkin on Fischer Blvd. since I was a kid. He recently retired and moved. Anyway....welcome to NJGF!

These are the only ones I ever see at the beach.

Yep....its much more humane to hunt.

Sounds good! Be sure to keep us posted on your quest to becoming a firearms owner in NJ. Good Luck!

Thanks bud! hahaha Rl_z-Kzq5NU

Anyone notice the girl in the water (in the first 30 seconds or so) wearing the purple hat???? :shock: I highly suggest a pause at the 21 second mark.

5. Waiting some more. 6. Still waiting. Sucks doesn't it? I feel your pain, but it will be well worth it in the long run. At least it gives you time to do some research and make an educated purchase once your FID arrives.

I dont have any messages....when did you call? What did I miss? BBM, I probably could've made it. I'll just wait until next time, no biggie. ahhhhh that sucks. I thought you meant a regular voice mail. I have my BBM volume off, I got tired of those fools talking at all hours of the night. lol.....I guess I gotta make it where only private messages come thru.

lmao, what a tool!

:greetings-wavingblue:

Matt is not rubbing anything of chads.

:oops: Hey...ask maks today I did pretty well! :mrgreen:

Years ago yes. Now, No.

Wow! Thanks man....I'll show you how to use my camera?

My apologies.....its a cute butt tho isn't it? Honestly, I really did not want to risk getting shot to get better pictures. lol, it was the only safe angle I could get.

:?: :?: :?:
