[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 2318015, member: 14057"] I have run out of travel on the horizontal adjustment in the scope. I am all the way to the right stop and still shooting about 2" to the left. Remington 700 Stainless Laminate Stock SN: S6302xxx "300 WM" Previously used new to me rifle. DNZ one piece game hunter medium height mount. New Mount purchased from Midway Ziess Conquest 3x12x56 30 MM tube. New Scope purchased from Midway as a demo factory refurb. I am going to take the mount to the shop tomorrow and get after it with a height gage on the surface plate. The scope looks like it is off to the right from the barrel as far as alignment goes. I haven't been able to tell much with calipers. I will also mount some one inch rings on the rifle with a different scope tomorrow. Maybe that will rule out the mounting hole locations on the receiver. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Does anyone have a set of 30mm rings/ mount laying around not in use that will fit a long action 700 I could borrow for a few days? I will pay shipping both ways. Any other suggestions would be really helpful. Maybe some measurements I could take with the scope mounted on the rifle. I really want to try and figure this out before I have to write Midway an demand a refund plus shipping and I believe I also will demand they overnight my replacement scope and mount free of charge. Sorry about the last part. I could not pass up the moment. [/QUOTE]
