About zarathustra
Biography:
Back in NZ after 20 years of work and travel in Europe and Asia, so decided to once again look into target shooting. When I had younger eyes I was a competitive Smallbore and Fullbore shooter and wrote for NZ Guns Magazine during its formative years. Now that I'm finally back home to NZ I am rekindling my old interests in rifles and shooting.

    Forgot to mention that the rifle is an original tang safety Ruger M77 in 25-06. Scope on before photos is a Kahles Helia S 6x42 and on after photos is a USA made Weaver Micro-Trac T16x

    Since you tested the scope on two other rifles with two other rings it sounds like a bent scope tube which you can test like MD said. Another way to test at home is to roll the scope along a desk....
