I loved you answer Badger, "turn the scope 90 degrees." Sometimes the simple solutions are just too obvious.

I have spoken to the folks at Weaver Scope Mounts to ensure that I am using the right mounts. They instructed me to shim it to get it to close to zero, which I have done. I didn't write it down, but I think I have something like .060" of shim at the rear mount of the scope. I would like to have more range of adjustment, so Badger's idea might work.

It appears that Blount has outsourced repair services for the older Weaver scopes, and only service the new ones themselves. Before I deal with repair folks, I always like to try to figure out what's wrong so I don't get buffalo'd.

Thank for your comments.

Al

P.S. The scope is on a Winchester Model 70, .30/06.
