Took out the new rifle. Mounted a Nightforce NX8 to a set of 30 mm Badger Ordinance 20 Moa Unimount. All sighted in and then when I got home it occurred to me I might have mounted scope and unimount ring/rail in wrong direction. Looking at rifle from butt to muzzle is the badger ordinance nuts you tighten to rail supposed to be on the left or right. I'm going to see if I can post a picture up. I think I may have it mounted incorrectly. Thanks

 
looks correct to me. you should be able to look at it and see that the rear is higher than the front. one of the advantages of these mounts is you can put them farther forward to set eye relief depending on the rifle easier. due to the lug placement, it possible the front can hang over the handguard without the lug bolts bridging the gap between the handguard and the receiver.
