Well this is all stemming from my new purchase of a new model 25 in .223 with the thumbhole laminate stock.
Optics are as follows (all new); mounts that came on the rifle, savage signature rings, Leupold 3-9x40.
First trip to the range with no offset inserts used and I couldn't hit paper even at 50 yards. A couple weeks later and two sets of offset inserts purchased, I put both of the 20" offsets on in the appropriate manner to bring the poa and poi closer together. After all the above, it was still shooting over 10" high.
A bit uneasy about this. Haven't contacted Savage yet and was wandering what most of you have experienced with new set ups being off and off how far??? My scenario seems like it's a bit off of Savages standards??? Then again I don't know what there standards are. Looking for input and curios about others experiences.
