Re-set windage and elevation to there centers slacken off and re-tighten your mounts and try again if problem still persists then you might have to shim the mounts  use the search facility on here theres plenty of info

if you turn them 8 times then turn back 4 simples! same as the windage! then you will be centered and start again,but as already said you may have to shim them.

as i had to do with mine one time'

Hi there Paul,

 

Try this method here. 5th post down.

 

I was taught this method years ago now, and it has always worked very well for me - so well in fact, I wanted to share the knowledge.

 

I have no doubt this will work just as well for you mate.

 

 

All the best,

Grim.

Shim - Shims - Shimming . . . . . .

 

 

 

:sick: Nasty words them. Damage your scope they can - things they are! . . .

 

 

 

Anyway!

 

That method is how I was taught, and so far, it has never failed me, and neither have I ever had to resort to shims :sick: - I am glad to say.

 

Let me know please how you come out of this with that method mate? Be interesting to find out like.

 

 

ATB,

Grim.
