Well it looks like I will most definitely be upgrading the scope rings as you suggested. The rail must not be on the receiver parallel to the bore. I tried to sight it in today. I got the windage set within a few clicks but ended up adjusting the elevation all the way down till it stopped and was still 8-10 inches off the top of the bulls-eye.

The rings on there now are the Millet brand and are adjustable for windage. I don't need that as much as the elevation. So I was looking at a set of the Burris Model 420520 Signature Zee 1 inch Riflescope Weaver Style Based Rings. I guess I have to buy the eccentric kit separately?

Do you have any suggestions regarding these rings or another type?
