I had a gunsmith instal my scope on my rifle for me a few weeks ago. While i was cleaning my gun today I noticed that the front ring is not perfectly square with the barrel. So i got a measuring tape out an measured from both sides of the front ring to the edge of the objective lense. i found that the ring is 1/16th inch diggerence from one side to the other. It would need to be turned clockwise just a hair to fix this. My question is: The gun is shooting very well and the scope doesnt seem to be in a bind, should i even be concerned about it?
