I would try a new set of rings first. Or just use the rings that were on the .17 with the first scope and use them with the burris.
Bore sighting only gets you "on the paper" at 25 yards. Actual shooting is the best test. I had to shim the scope I put on my 10-22 build when I ran out of elevation adjustment, and it still shot 18' low at 100 yds.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
What rings are you using?
What bore sighter are you using?
If you need to you can buy windage adjustable base, Leupold builds some, others do too I bet.Carl

For a picittiny rail ?I like 1-piece scope bases, especially for a picatinny rail. Never had a problem with those. Did you check the scope tube for damage from overtightening the rings? That happens occasionally.
If I'm taking a scope from one rifle and mounting it on another rifle, I will find "zero" in the scope before mounting and bore sighting by turning the windage and elevation dials to one stop and then counting the number of clicks to the other stop and then putting it half way between the two. This isthe only way I am aware of to get a scope back to a neutral starting point. Don't know if you did this prior to mounting the Burris, but if you didn't, this may be your problem, when you started the process, you were already working with a fraction of your original adjustment range.

Many Burris scopes have a lifetime warranty. Send it back, and if they repair or replace it, you have a scope to sell if you are still anti-Burris!
