Gunsmithing Rebarreled rifle scope mount problem

[wco24u]

Recently had my 700 rebarreled seems I have slight problem with scope mounting. First, mount was a Game Reaper, mounted the scope and began boresighting. The scope Nikon Monarch (new) used all of the left windage to come to zero. Second mount, Game Reaper, mounted scope same problem. Third mount, Leupold STD, mounted scope.

At, this point, counted all the clicks in the scope from left to right and came back to center. All clicks are there, reticle moves the same distance every click. Using a boresighter to watch each click. Used the windage on the mount to bring it to center. Used all the right side windage screw and there was no more adjustment. It took 8 addition clicks in 1/4" per click to come to center.

At a loss for words, and need some help. Is the action, recoil lug or barrel not squared somehow?

You got it. I would take it back to whoever did the work and either have him check the alignment of the barrel/receiver. SOunds as if he may not have set up the barrel correctly.

Good way to get business, got three Nikon Monarch scopes already. You need to buy a couple?

Spoken to some guys who build tactical, benchrest and longrange guns. Its in the action to barrel being out of square when set-up.
