problem scoping a ruger mk2

[markl]

trying to sight a km77rp mk2 with a bushnell 3200 elete 5/15 by 40 mm.

at 50 m hitting the ground low. i'm using med. mounts and can't figure out the problem, any advice?

Dial up the clicks on the scope and see what happens.

............A strong case for the purchase of a boresighter. Your sighting in gets done at home with minimal adjustment and ammo waste at the range. They are cheap too.

looking into this for a friend, not my rifle btw

he said the dials maxed out and it's not even close. he's using the suggested mounts and wants to see if there's something else to look at before he spends more money on different mounts


imo he should take it in and have someone take a quick look for any obvious problems....but i said i'd post here to see if there's a common issue. thanks

Did you reverse the mounts? Front and rear are different in height but will fit in the grooves...

More than one guy has done this.

i saw his rifle up close and personal today and it took a quick glance to see the prob. i don't even understand how he didn't see the glaring f**k up.

he needed a smaller mount in the back to accommodate for the shape

Chalk it up to experience, so long as the scope is still OK it was a cheap lesson!!

I have a few Rugers...it is easy to mix them up.
