I'll try to keep this short;

I bought a slightly used Bushnell Elite 3200 10x from a buddy, came in a no-name 1 piece QD mount. The mount was too high for my Norinco M14, so I took the scope out and used low rings.

Got a DPMS .308 flat top and decided the 3200 would work better on it. The low rings were too low, so back to the QD mount. I put the lever on the right side of the receiver so as not to interfere with the charging handle. I honestly forget how the scope was in the mount originally..

Now, the mount has inserts (I'm assuming to go from 30mm to 1"), and they didn't look eccentric to me, so I just kinda slapped everything back together.

When I was sighting in Sunday, I had windage max'd out all the way to the left. It's almost dead-on windage wise, but I got no more left...

Should I reverse the mount (put throw lever on left)? Could the inserts really eccentric,and I missed it? Just get a different mount/rings?

I'll have to take a pic of the mount and post it tomorrow.
