Vortex windage issue

[Mulie87]

 So I have a brand new Vortex scope that I put on my Remington 700 .300 rum with a one piece Picatinny rail and Vortex Percision rings. During sight in I ran out of windage and am 2 inches left at 25 yards. Has anyone ever ran across this. I’m assuming it’s the scope. Hard to believe it would happen to an expensive viper hslr 6-24x60 FFP.

 I am troubleshooting and put tally rings on the gun. I’m going to shoot it tomorrow and see if the problem still persists. If it does I will be sending that damn scope back to vortex.

Humm, no issues with any of mine.  Do your scope rings look centered on your rail?

[Tracker0721]

On most forums I’m on it seems people agree vortex started out great and then they grew too big too fast and with how many scopes they’re pumping out a lot of lemons sneak out. I sold all of mine and all of my buddies have too now. I paid over the cost of a new scope in shipping scopes back for repair. The only good vortex now is the Razor line. Everything else is the same as a Walmart Bushnell in my book.

Ya, the rings were on right.

I agree, I might have a lemon. I’m not to the pointbwhere i’m giving up on Vortex.......yet!

Well i’ll shoot it tomorrow with the Talley rings and post an update.

Got back out to the range this morning and what do you know, it was the rings/bases. The Talley’s performed perfectly and I got it sighted in. Weird, it was either the Vortex precision rings or the  EGW one piece rail. Either way I’m sticking with the Talley rings.

Anyone want a pair of 30mm vortex precision rings? $100

I would lean toward the rail.

Glad you got it figured out. From my experience, most of the time when I run out of windage or elevation it is a rail or ring issue.

[Mulie87]

I would too. I just can’t trust a $40 rail.

Bet you're breathing a huge sigh of relief.  Glad you figured it out.

I’ve used lots of egw rails and have found that the hd ones seem to be better. But they don’t match the fit and finish of the $100+ rails.

I would guess if you called egw they would replace the rail though.

[Mulie87]

Yes, very relieved. I was stressing. Very happy that the problem is fixed.
