Oh, believe me, the mount WAS a problem. It had a Leupold STD mount when I got it. With the threads stripped, it was flopping all over the place. Furthermore, one of the smiths overtightened the gross windage adjustment and the head came off the screw as I was attempting to loosen it. There have been 3 smiths involved. The first one boogered the internal thread. The second one jammed a larger screw in the hole semi-cockeyed and used some epoxy. The third, a recently retired fellow on this illustrious forum, took the job on of cleaning up the mess, and as far as I can tell his work is holding steady. He mounted a fresh Leupold STD 1-piece mount and rings and tested it before sending it back to me.
Thanks for the idea.
I've got a collimater. I'll give that a shot tonight. It was just freshly bore-sighted before this shooting session, so if it's off I'll know.
