So I’m playing with my Tikka T1x to shoot some long distance rimfire. 215yards being the max. It sits in an MDT XRS chassis I have a 452 guns 20MOA base, Burris signature Zee rings with 0MOA in the scope inserts +10 on bottom and -10 on top front and back. I was just getting used to everything at the 25yd mark and it was a tack driver. My windage was dead nuts in the middle of my windage on my turrets, perfect. My elevation was bottomed out on my turret shooting 3.5” high, me being a ditz thought something was wrong, I tear the gun apart, order a set of rings with no inserts from Warne, still 3.5” high. So I send those back and put my Burris rings back on and accidentally over torqued the clamp screw. (I looked up the wrong torque spec) and it broke(Burris is sending me new clamp screws). Well ****… I ordered a set of XTR rings, I put the +5 on the bottom rear, -5 top rear and 0’s in the front. Which should give me 25moa total between the base and rings. Now for whatever reason, I’m dead on at 25 with the elevation turret bottomed out and had to bottom my windage turret to the left. I took the rings apart and put my level on the base of rings. The rear is canted so the bubble on the level touches the line on the right, but is still in the middle. The front ring is canted so the bubble is touching the left line but is still in the center.
In a last ditch effort I put shims under the base’s to shim them in the direction to get them level with the scope rail. Is this the right thing to do?
I’m going crazy trying to figure this out
