scope??? out of adjustment

Hay Johnvh, I don't know what picture u were looking at, but the stock is collapsed in two of the pics. That may be what u were looking at, every one that has looked threw it says it fits them good, but ya I am half blind too tho, no excuses! lol

General rule of thumb is to have your nose touching or as close as possible to the charging handle on an AR style weapon. Looks to me like having the scope mount on backwards would make that tough to do, unless you're pinocchio.

I was comparing it to mine. Mine is close to flush with the rear of the receiver. And I have the same furniture.

Just looked at one of my ARs, and the scope is about 1 1/2" back from the charging handle.  My mount is a RRA High Rise, but not a radical cantilever mount like yours.  My mount is as far back on the picatinny rail as it will go, and is pointed the right way.  Turning the mount around and going fully rearwards should put your rings in just about the same place...

To each there own but no way can that mount be comfortable. Nose to charge handle is general school of thought.

That wouldn't work very well for me.  Maybe if I was tall and lanky it might be comfortable, but I'm 5-7, and occasionally I'll shoot with the stock collapsed, when I'm in a hurry, but it feels weird!  Even that is too close to be comfortable.

Does this scope have a side focus adjustable paralax? If it doesn't then it looks like the scope is mounted wrong, with the elevation adjustment on the side and the windage adjustment on top.

Well heck that's my problem! I have the scope on backwerds ! Lol It does have a side focus on it, I have the same one on my encore & love it. Out of all the scopes I have tried or have of diffrent brands I will stick to this one in Tue future. Going to try the diffrent ideas in a bit. I will post the out come.

Counted the clicks both ways & centered the crosshairs, bore sight hit in the same place. Turned the cantalever around in case it was tapered, bore sighted hit in samebplace & out of elevation, put shims in scope rings, now were talkin! Crosshairs were dead on with the light, I thought hotdog! Took it out and shot it....... Looked for a bigger rock,..... Then a biggenes shotin about 3' high. Took the shims out and adjusted it down a little and got it in the ball park, needs some fine tunein tho. Think I'm going to throw the bore sight away and go back to old school eye down the barrel & fire a few rounds. Guess modern tech isn't always the best. Thanx to everyone for all of there input & help! I was pullin hairs there for a bit.

bore sighting is a waste of time, just find something 1000yds away, look through the barrel, center the scope on that, start at 25-50yds and youll be on paper.

Contrary to what many believe, boresighting will only get you "on the paper" at 25 yards.  It is NOT ACCURATE!  Only actual shooting will get the gun "dead on".  Sometimes even after boresighting, it takes quite a few rounds to dial it in.  Then other times I've gotten it "dead on at 100 yards" in as few as 3 shots!

I realize that now. Thanx for the input
