Hey sorry for the newb question.

I'm having issues sighting in my scope on my 22. I was not sure if this is the right place to post but here goes.
I Purchased a BSA sighting kit and have been trying to sight in my Vortex Crossfire 2-7. After I had adjusted my scope my crosshairs are still not lining up properly, my elevation is good but Im still way over to the right and im maxed out on my adjustment on the scope. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
 
had to purchase a picatinny rail in order for the bolt to clear the scope. Cant remember exactly what the make is.

In all honesty, I would S@@t can that rail system. Get decent rings. Just get them high enough to clear the bolt. Also your scope looks to be too far back. Unless that scope has 2" of eye relief. If you have a good gunstore nearby it may be worthwhile to just take it in and have them find the rings for you that are decent and work with that rifle/scope. It can be cheaper than messing around buying rings and rails that don't work and you get something decent properly set up from the get go.

As for the sight in. The down and dirty is to remove the bolt and sight at the middle of the paper while the rifle is in a rest. Then spin your scope turrets until it lines up. Once at the range fire a couple shots dead centre form a rest. The quick and dirty way is to keep your rifle in a rest, aim at where you hit and then spin your turrets until the crosshair is at the centre of the target. Small adjustments after that.
 
Thanks for the Reply Epoxy. Unfortunately I did get that rail from the local dealer and the only reason that the rail is there is because Non of the rings they had in stock would allow the bolt to clear the scope. I originally purchased medium rings and later went for the Highest rise rings they had with still no luck. The rail system was the only thing that got the scope high enough. Trust me im not a fan of rails, Yes the scope is far back, that was me f*cking around trying to get it sighted in. I just got a gun rest, gonna try screwing with it some more. The gun store here doesn't really have anyone competent enough that I would trust with any of my stuff. They let go both employees that I enjoyed dealing with and that had good knowledge of fire arms. Now all they have are Sales monkeys. Sad story, I use to preach buy local, Now I wont set foot in that store, Good News for the online sponsors of CGN!
 
Is the rifle a Savage? Do a search on the rifle model here and online. See what others have used and order it in. With some rifles bolt clearance is definately an issue. You won't be the first or last to have this issue. I'm sure others have posted their sollutions.

It sucks when you can't get the help you need from the local store. There was one store I would go to and they always chose the right rings or ordered in the right rings along with correctly mounting the scope. Another store I went to it was hit and miss.

I have a spare rifle I'll be selling soon that had raised rings on it when I bought it. They (the rings) are intended to allow you to mount a scope but still use the iron sights if you want to (you're actually looking under the scope). As such, they are quite high and this style would work in the case of this .22 of yours. I never found them uncomfortable even though they are higher than usual.

I believe they're called to as "see-through rings"
