I have a savage axis 22-250 with a vortex diamond back mounted. I was zeroing it in last weekend and realized (after I was done) that the bolt was slightly rubbing the bell on my scope. I took it back to sportsmans warehouse and had a taller set of rings put on and bore sighted again. Today I go back to zero it and the first shot was 10-12 inches low. I go to adjust it and I only had 2 clicks and it was maxed out. I have raised scopes before and never had this problem. Could this be something they did wrong? Something I did wrong? Or a combo? I really don't want to lower the scope and have it rub so I'm not sure what my options are at this point. Any help would be great. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I would start by trying a different brand bases and rings. There are a ton out there. I guarantee someone on the forum has this exact same gun with low mounts. A quick google search revealed that the Axis will use the same bases as the Savage 10 or 110.
This video is very much worth watching. It addresses what you're seeing and the best fix for it. Very good video, IMHO. [video=youtube_share;wcRAX5OLtJE]https://youtu.be/wcRAX5OLtJE[/video]
The scope needed medium mounts to start but would still barely rub. I am going to watch the video when I get home though. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
If the eye relief of the scope allows, just ease the scope back a bit in the rings and see if the bolt will clear.
Some rings and based have a dedicated front ring/base and rear set. You may want to check the rings/based to see if the both are the same height.
