Thread: Baikal rail issue

I fixed it by using Burris rings with the offset inserts to give me windage rather than elevation. Previously it had Leupold quick release rings that would change POI every time the pressure on the lever changed. As pointed out earlier there may be a bit of fudge room with your current rings not being identical to allow some gain by swapping back/front and turning them around.

Not easy to get a sight along like that when you half blind and using glasses :-(

OK
I cannot not flip the rail to rear as the recoil stud wont work/align
I have shifted it back and used the recoil pin that I was no using before
No diff
Changed rings - front to rear and left to right
No diff

Think I will go back to the 243 and try and get a better quality rail like the one in 1st post 2nd & 3rd pic
