I am trying to help a friend out with his inline muzzleloader and ran into a problem. He has a Burris mount and rings on it with a Burris Fullfield scope and with the elevation maxxed out it was about 6" low at 75 yards. I thought maybe it was a defective scope so I brought it home tonight and installed my Leupold VX-II 3-9 on it so he could hunt with it next weekend. Turns out the Leupold doesn't have the travel of the Burris and that it isn't a scope issue. I measured the base and it is good so the only thing I can think of would be the bore isn't centered in the barrel. Does anyone else have any ideas? I doubt they make a canted base for an Encore or I would order one so I can get him ready to hunt with it.

try burris signature rings with insert kit. Inserts in kit are 5 moa, 10 moa, or 20 moa so in one kit you can get up to 30 moa depending on your needs and can also help w/ windage. I got mine at midway but I'm sure other vendors have them.

I had a similar issue with my Omega and Talley mounts. I went with a +20 MOA mount from Farrell and the problem is solved.

I had the exact same problem, I went with a 20 MOA mount and it fixed it

Re: TC Encore muzzleloader issue
I looked and looked and couldn't come up with a canted base for the encore. I already have the rings and inserts for the guy ordered otherwise I would order this, I feel like the rings and inserts are a half ass fix. Although the guy probably wouldn't want to spend the twice the money on the proper fix haha.

Re: TC Encore muzzleloader issue
You can trust the Burris rings and inserts. I have them on several rifles around here and they've never been a problem. I will admit, however, that the standard rings "look" a little better.
That’s an interesting problem with that Encore. I have one of those too but didn't have any problems sighting the scope in.
