Re: problem with new base and rings

have you made sure that your screw holes for the base were lined up right? Did you torqe the nuts on the rings to the required amount? If its setup right then you won't have a problem unless the mount or rings are defective.
 
Re: problem with new base and rings

Can't really troubleshoot with that limited of info.
Are you saying that you replaced a base and rings that the scope was zero'd for and now with the better rings and base you had to correct with left windage? If so, have you considered that the setup that got replaced may have been tweaked to the left??
