    Rifle Scopes How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore?

    Re: How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore? There is shift in vertical position on each mount I checked. I remain convinced that evidence seen when scopes were removed from LaRue risers and installed on their respective AR-10 rails w/o risers shows significant offset of scope from...

    Rifle Scopes How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore?

    Re: How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore? Sorry BJ-OK, not possible to do so with and AR flat-top. Scopes were being used on risers so could be swapped to bolt gun picatinny rail or Weaver bases. Have to use a riser to keep low or medium height scope which makes scope usable on...

    Rifle Scopes How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore?

    Re: How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore? Probably should have posted this in the gunsmithing section. What is the purpose of building a rifle with trued boltface, trued barrel threads to receiver assuring firing pin strikes perfect center on primer if the fucking scope is offset...

    Rifle Scopes How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore?

    Re: How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore? Frank, Sorry for misunderstanding about the thousandth, ten-thousandth thing. What I am concerned with is not the dialed-in windage of the scope, it is the off-centered mount. If the mount is one-hundredth to right of the bore, the...

    Rifle Scopes How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore?

    Re: How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore? Scope that is positioned off-axis in amount that equals 8" at 100yds can, likely will induce tracking errors or limit vertical tracking at bottom range of movement (most distant range). Scope only tracks full 60moa elevation range of...

    Rifle Scopes How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore?

    Re: How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore? Have owned a Badger AR riser in the past and a couple of Swan's including one with fold-down rear sight. Never thought to test those, but their design with the hex head through-screw and base that is essentially a plate fits over the...

    Rifle Scopes How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore?

    Re: How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore? Here is the deal: Scopes that came off bolt guns were basically in correct alignment with AR-10 bore, when mounted on the AR-10 flat top receiver w/o the LaRue riser. Put them on the riser and the boresighter showed an 8moa shift to the...

    Re: How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore? If reticle is not aligned with bore, reticle is at an angle to bore when zeroed and only in alignment at exact point zero, unless you don't mind impact being inches from your point of aim; in this case 8" distant from strike of bullet. Not...

    Rifle Scopes How Critical Is Sight Base Alignment With Bore?

    Two weeks ago I decided to remount a couple of scopes had mounted on AR-rifles. Switched two scopes from bolt rifles to the AR-10s. One of the bolt rifles has a Leupold Mk4 picatinny rail, other one Weaver Steel bases. Since the AR-10 rifles (flat-tops) both were equipped with LaRue LT 110 QD...
