For the life of me, I can’t figure out why I am seeing the barrel on all power settings on this rig setup? Plenty of clearance between the scope Bell and barrel. No issues with the bolt handle touching the scope. Any suggestions appreciated. Last edited by Sakohunter264; 05/05/20.

It's hard to gauge perspective from the photos, but something looks amiss -- as though the objective end of the scope is going downhill. Seeing the barrel at 1.5x might be expected but not at higher magnifications.

Is there a gap between the scope tube and the back of the rear ring or between the front of the scope tube and the top/front of front ring? Just a SWAG of course, but be careful you don't bend/kink the scope tube tightening the ring halves too much. Tom Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

Yeah, you wonder? Did you use scope alignment tools? Maybe its a set of 20 moa +. I would have never even tightened those top cap screws personally...
