About LinkBacksJust bought a used leupold VXII tactical off TM. It won't wind down enough to zero it at 100yds, not even 200yds. It's on a remington M700 .223 with leupold rings. Is this normal? Do I have to get a special base with a higher rear?

Something's wrong. Legit Leupold? Have you got a one piece base on the rifle (thinking 20moa base on the wrong way). Pretty sure Leupold don't do a "tactical VXII".

EDIT: read the question again and it does sound like a 20MOA rail on backwards.

Perhaps tactical is the wrong word, maybe target. Leupold VX-II 6-18 X 40 Target AO Fine Duplex | Trade Me is the detail. Just standard two piece base which works fine for other scopes. Maybe I've been sold a dog.

Yup, picture would be good. Also check your serial number, is it a row of the same number?
EDIT: your post came up before mine, looks to be a legit scope.Hunting is not a hobby.....its an addiction

I agree, try swapping the rings around, are they dual dovetails or is the rear set a windage adjustment one?

Can't. Rear has windage screws and front is a twist in. Originally Posted by Vapour

Got me thinking though. Maybe the rings are not a set. I'll measure them tonight. Originally Posted by johnino

If you still have the packaging for them check the part umber against the leupold base chart. the rings are universal but the bases differ. There are a few variants for the bases and you may just have the wrong one.
