Subject: Rimfire out of adjustment
Posted: March/29/2014 at 18:00
I am a Nikon fanboy, I have a Monarch 5-20 SF mounted on my Colt A3 and to keep from swapping scopes around when I want to shoot the Ruger I bought a Prostaff 5 3.5-14 BDC SF for the AR and mounted the Monarch on the Ruger. I tried to zero in the Ruger but lost adjustment, I got the windage dead on but the elevation was off about - 5". I thought the Ruger's mount was off so I did some research and found that rim-fires have problems with "out of adjustment" when using high magnification scopes. Is this true and have anyone else run into this?
