    if your rifle is that far out, chances are the barrel is out of index..remove the weapon from the stock, look on bottom of the receiver ring, you will see a witness mark, they should be dead on.

    I removed the weapon from the stock and had a look at the witness mark they look dead on to my untrained eyes.
