Have a Remmy 700 SPS Tactical and the dealer sold me a one piece base with medium rings. Just got in my Bushnell 5x15 and it's shooting low but have the scope adjusted up as much as possible. Base is a type of picatinny rail it looks like and am wondering if switching to a Leupold base with low rings would solve the problem? I don't have much experience with this and would appreciate some input. Thanks!
You should mount the scope as close to the barrel as you can, IMO. I would give it a try. If that doesn't work maybe its the scope. Is it a new scope?
There is a problem if you have the scope adjusted all the way up and it is still shooting low. What type of rail is it? Who mounted it? I have seen folks mount an angled picatinny rail backwards. Or it could be a rifle problem. Check all of the action screws to make sure they are tight.
It was the base. Way too high for the SPS, picked up a two piece set tonight, remounted the scope (new Bushnell Legend 5x15 mildot) and shot the xring out @ 100 yds after dialing in 4 shots. Didn't think it looked right but took the gunshop guy's advice. Now it's shooting like it's supposed to!
