Thread: Out of adjustment

Can you post a bit more detail of the scope model and mounts ?

Have either the scope, rifle or ammo ever shot better than this ?

I once had trouble with 2 piece optilocks where the big screw holding the rings onto the base had come loose after 1000 rounds. Shots were going about a foot low but inconsistently. Wasted a bit of ammo and it took a while to find. You dcant see it unless you take the base off the action. The scope did rattle in the end. Tightened the screw and it’s fixed.

Could you also confIrm whether you’ve checked there isn’t a whole lot more adjustment range available if you shift whatever zero stop mechanism you have ? A scope will usually have over a metre vertical range at 100m.

Sorry, I'm not wanting to hijack your thread - just offer encouragement that it'll be something simple you can fix yourself.

Uplander,

Work through each item as discussed above to determine where the fault lies scope, rings or rifle.

If it is the rifle and it is new then talk with Beretta. I have heard of barrels not square with action faces on the odd occasion even on Sako’s. You should not need to shim a new rifle.

Chris, I think the mounts Uplander is using are the Optilock ringmounts as shown here. https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....-bender-56500/

Ah thanks for that link.
I couldn’t find the one piece ringmounts on the sako.fi online site when I looked recently . But they are available.
The 30mm ringmounts do seem to come in just one height and for the 30mm Version and it’s better suited to a 50mm objective.
Leupold List a lower one suitable for 40 or 44mm obj depending on Barrel contour.

There’s not much can go wrong with those one piece ringmounts. Perhaps it’s the plastic insert causing problems ?
Has any work been done on the rings or the barrel in the past ?
