Hi team,
Got a dilemma with my new rifle. My scope was mounted on my tikka and had a pretty central windage turret when zeroed.
Now mounted on the new rem 700 with zero MOA rail, burris z rings with 10moa inserts and bore sighted. Problem is its only got 5 MOA left of windage to the right. I know I need to zero by firing it but cant do that till Sat. Not sure im going to get much back if any anyway.
What would be your thoughts on cause at this point? Rail on the piss?
RTFM muppet... turn the inserts slightly diagonal and problem will be fixed :D
Really? Seems theres something more sinister afoot. Thats like a bandaid solution. Id like to know why its so far out of alignment.
Anyone had similar issues?
rail could be on the piss / poorly installed ? take it off and use a vernier to check if the holes drilled into action are out of alignment and also if the holes in the rail are central ?
are you sure the inserts have not rotated ? that could also cause it...
other stuff to try would be to turn the rail around if possible, and to swop back and front rings (changing the inserts of course)
If you'd got that sako and optilocks you'd be hunting this weekend[emoji2]

Nice will try that if still way over after setting true zero after firing. Inserts are spot on :)Quote:

If that and rings are good look along the action from above with scope removed and line the edge of rail up with side of action. If you can see any missalignment at all its your problem. This could be the rail or holes drilled on the piss in the action.
It's a lemington not a quality tikka so allowances have to be made.
Rtfm?
Re tighten fukn mounts?Quote:

It's something you only do after you try ten times, ten different ways.Quote:

Christ on a tricycle, it's a miracle... !
He read the manual :thumbsup:
While that may fix it I guess this is sort of a band aid cure misaligning the inserts to correct some other misalignment?
My thoughts too VC. Might check out the rail etc
Sell it dale still has that sako......Quote:

The Remingtons have that problem the screw holes are on the piss I have 5 700's none are any use with rails I have tried a few rails not cheap Chinese junk, expensive US made stuff none were of much use, I have fixed the problem
by fitting them with Leupold or Burris bases and ring sets with windage adjustment a couple have Burris signature Z rings probably your best bet is the Burris Z rings I find them most helpful just turn the insert to jack the scope to were it needs to be get a good selection of inserts and you can sort it out quite easy,
just wait till your at the hut and grab someone elses there should be plenty to choose from :thumbsup:
Hey Gibo, have you tried "leaning" the other way when you are shooting!!
And folks say Tikkas are shit bwahhhhh. That's blimmin mental .... Good on you @shooternz for nutting it great work out I d a chucked it over a bank way before then ... Sell it Gibo or trade it on something else.Quote:

Turns out It's a common rem fault of the barrels screwed in crooked or the base holes on the piss.
That was the last remi i bought been tikka and sako since, end of problem!
:omg:
Take it back mate.Quote:
