[QUOTE="thaHooligan, post: 3180593, member: 14892"] hmm, a friend of mine brought by a TC Compass 308 that he wanted me to sight in for him before rifle season. He already had the scope mounted, but it hadn't been shot or sighted in or anything. First thing I did is what I do with my own guns once the scope is mounted, I get a small level and a flat 2.5" piece of steel to level the scope with the gun. Its always worked fine on my own guns, but this one was giving me a bit of a hard time. I would place the flat metal in front of the front scope mount on the extra bit of weaver base and check the level of the gun. Then I would place the level on top of the scope to check that level and match them to each other. Once those two matched I figured it was good, but then I placed the flat metal in front of the rear scope mount, just like I did on the front, and it was giving maybe a 1/8 or 3/16 inch difference from being level to the front mount. I eventually just leveled the scope with the mount the mount that seemed to be level, I don't remember if it was the front or back. The gun did shoot pretty good, it did 1 1/8" groups with the cheap Winchester and Federal 150gr ammo that he planned to hunt with. I'm sure better ammo would easily get under 1". So his mounts seemed to be un-level, where if you were aiming the gun it would affect the scope horizontally, but is sounds like the one you looked at may have been the opposite direction, where it would affect the scope vertically? That's kind of confusing, hopefully I explained it well enough that you get what I was trying to say? lol [/QUOTE]
