Thread: Am I being a dick?

Need some guidance from the forum.

I just bought a tidy 2nd hand sporterised Brno M98 in 30-06AI. It came with Weaver bases and 30mm rings.

I got it home, swapped the rings out & set up my leupold M8 scope and noticed the scope and the barrel were noticeably misaligned. As in i don’t have enough windage to accomodate it.

I contacted the shop this morning and advised them of the issue. I sent these photos in.


I mentioned that a Leupold windage base would probably sort it as it fits the same screw centres. They have come back and said they have them in stock and that I can come and pick them up for $45.

Should I be paying for this, what do you think?

I’ve also had a barreled action project with these guys for what must be a year now, a pretty simple turn the barrel down and install some Recknagel open sights. They lost the original job description, so I talked them that through again...

I have to drive 3 hrs return to see them so I’m a bit hesitant to ‘go & pick them up’.
