Scope doesn't have enough adjustment... |

Hey scope folks. |
|
I recently bought a new Ruger 10/22 takedown rifle. I have a |
|
Leupold VariX I'd like to put on it, but the bloomin' thing |
|
doesn't have enough latitude in crosshair motion, either up or |
|
down. |
|
So I'm wondering, what does one do in such a case? Buy shim |
|
material and shim the rings? Or is there some other, better fix. |
|
Right now, the 10/22 has a red dot on it (which I'm no big fan |
|
of), while the Leupold is doing an awesome job on a Marlin 336, |
|
bolt action .30-30. |

Sounds like it may be a problem with the mounts. |

NOPE! |
|
some of the older style Leopold scopes don't have much for |
|
adjustment. |
|
you have to use shim stalk to move them up or down in a lot of |
|
new gun and mounts... |

Use millet windage adjustable rings which I am selling 3 sets of |
|
on accuarate shooter. The other alternative is burris signature |
|
rings with the plastic inserts to adjust for lost windage. |
