Try burris signature rings with the appropriate inserts in to bring the rear of the scope down (I think :))

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............

shooting high at what range ?

Study up on the concept of Burris Signature rings......

A 300 Win should not be much fun to sight in.......

load some Trailboss loads to get it on paper.....

There are two Savage 110 actions, one with a FLAT on the rear of the action and the other with a ROUNDED rear of the action, be sure you have the correct bases for the action you have.


After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska

Flat rear are the older pre Accue trigger actions.......

Round rear (RR) are current Salvage actions

I have a Savage 110 243 on a long action. Back when the rifle was purchased there were no short actions. I had the same problem and used Burris Signature Zee rings with the +20 insert in the front ring an the -10 in the rear. To explain the inserts, I used the +/-20 insert with the + on the bottom of the front ring and the +/-10 with the -10 on the bottom in the rear ring. This angles the front of the scope up so the point of impact will be lower. With the reticle centered before mounting I had the elevation almost dead on at 100 yards.
