scope help, maxed out left

[AtliDOD]

Hey guys, I have a Panther LR-308 with a Bushnell 4200 elite. I'm using detachable extension top mount weaver rings. I tried to zero at 100 yrds and i was waay left. i maxed it out trying to get it on target, and was still 1/2 a foot out. should I try to switch one of the rings around? or shim it? i don't want to damage the tube.. any one got an idea?? Thanks.

Might I suggest a set of leopold bases and rings. The front is immoveable and the rear adjustable from side to side so you can center the scope

Switch both of the Weaver Rings. Worked before for me.

Did you have it boresighted?

 

[AtliDOD]

I didn't have it boresighted. i will try different positions with the rings. switched, turned.. if it doesn't help i think i will get a set of leopold.

It is too bad that all bases and rings aren't set up for windage adjustments. A lot of the problems I see are from the scope being adjusted to the max in one direction. This will cause a loss of adjustment in elevation if it is all the way right or left, and will cause a loss of windage adjustment if it is cranked too high or too low(shims needed under the base).
