Ok gues i just put together my 10/22 and it shoots fantastic. Just a little run down so you guys know the whole situation. factory trigger, reciever, bolt, er shaw barrel, houge stock, dednutz mounts, and a intensity 6-20x44 scope.

I went out last weekend to shoot it and once i got it on paper it shot fantastic using SK Standard+. Here is my problem, I had to adjust the scope almost all the way up to get it on paper. I mean like a half turn from being maxed out. Also this was at 25 yards which means i have no adjustment to go out and shoot 50 or 100 yards so i know this can't be right. Any help would be much appreciated.

i appreciate the rail suggestion but im guessing that there is an actuall reason why it is doing this. im going to pull it apart tonight and reassemble and make sure everything is on there right. if anyone has a suggestion other than just a rail i appreciate it.

so it seems as though a different v block is in order and i guess im going to have to order a inch pound torque wrench. Another question is how do you torque the vblock since there is so little room between it and the barrel. when i put it together i had to use an allen wrench because i driver with a allen head wouldn't fit in there. i appreciate all the help guys

i appreciate all the help guys. im going to take it apart tonight and look for any humps in the top of the receiver. im also going to loosen the v block screws as im pretty sure they are way to tight. IM an over tightener. also im going to readjust my mount screw and loosen it up a bit im guessing it's also to tight. hopefully this will make a difference.

well i can't really use a canted rail because a dednutz is a mount and rail all in one. How would i go about shimming the rear to adjust for this. I have also heard that you can file down that hump. How do i know where to file in order to make it right?

ok thanks chaser i will not try and do either of those two options. i will try retorqueing everything and see what that does. if this doesn't help or fix the problem then i guess i will get a rail with 15moa on it. how well do burris rings work. I still have the stock rail that came with the gun and if the burris rings will work i will just get those and use them. thanks for the help. Also do you think any of this is being caused by the fact that im using the high dednutz mount. I read that it would be the one that i needed for this scope so it's the one i bought but there is a fair amount of height between the barrel and the scope.

 

[jamescb77]

i have a 44mm objective so im guessing the highs are the way to go. how do i know which base came with the gun originally?

 

[jamescb77]

im not big on using crappy stuff so which base do you recommend?

 

[jamescb77]

you htink i need the .020 shim you don't think just using the .010 front and back that it comes with will be good.

ok guys i took th egun apart and retorques everything. as i suspected there was a considerable amount of over tightening going on. As i loosend the v block i could see the barrel raise, also i had the receiver screw about 4 times to tight. after putting it together without so much force i noticed that the barrel is now about 3/8 of an inch off the front of the stock where as before it was touching the stock. I don't know when i will get a chance to go shoot it again, but i will keep you posted. If this doesn't work im going to order the adjustable v block and burris rings as i don't think the v block it's self can fix the whole problem and i can use the rings to compensate as chaser has explained.

 

[jamescb77]

that might center the scope but how does it adjust for poi with the rifle?

 

[jamescb77]

thanks man that's exactly what i did and wow what i difference im not sure how tight i had it but i know it was way to tight as i was loosening it i could actually see the barrel rise
