Try using Leupold bases and rings.  The rear base allows you to adjust the scope right or left.  The cost for bases and rings is about $55, and they are very good. :twocents:

Don't buy a new scope.  Send that one back to get repaired. Then if you still want something new, buy what you can afford. I like to have things repaired, that way I have a spare.

Send it in to get fixed, they may cover it under warranty.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

I saw the stated warranty but asking is still free.

Just think, if you already sent it in, you'd probably have it back by now. Tell them you lost the receipt.

I devised a fast, easy way to boresight my guns.  Remove the bolt, if a bolt gun,

"I devised" ??? 

The poor mans bore scope process has been around since the early 60's. I'm not saying that you didn't invent the process.. But...  :rolleyes:

 

-Steve

I never said I invented the method--stumbled on it is probably more accurate.  Never fooled with scopes that much until my eyes got too old for iron sights.  I just can't see buying an expensive tool to do something so basic.  ;)
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

Old Dog is right on.  Try some Leupold standard bases.  They allow for some larger windage adjustments.  I had to do this on my wife's rifle.  It was incorrectly drilled and tapped at the factory.
     Also you might experiment withe bases you've got on there.  Your pictures only show the left side of the bases, but it might be that the large screws will allow you to adjust.
Move the rear to the right.
Good Luck!

Finalley got a chance to talk to a real person @ Weaver. He gave me the number to another place. "IronSites" witch told me they can fix it for $95.   I asked for a mailing address, so I can get the ball rolling. Then he tells me "just to let you know, it will be about a 7-8 MONTH turn around time"

 :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: *#!!@!!X*X!#%  :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:

So, I'll send it in anyway. Just to have a back up.   I'll be shopping for a new scope for the mean time.   
I'm still considering this one. Nikon Coyote , If anyone has any recommendations. LMK

Ok,  These scopes are likely listed in order of clarity from best to worse. The Zeiss and the meopta might be one of the best deals on the market right now which will get you glass nearly into the heirarchy of excellence at a quarter of the price.  The larger magnification models of the zeiss and meopta have target turrets but the price goes up significantly. The Meopta linked has the #4 reticle which is great for low light and longer range because it is both fat and narrow. If you want that reticle on the conquest, add $100  :bash:


The Minox line is coming up with great stuff and I beleive that their prices will continue to rise just like meopta's have.  The Minox and the redfield come with a scope cover.The redfield is the only lupy listed because I feel  :twocents: it is likely the only lupy line which matches it's cost with performance.

You posted the nikon coyote special. I'm not sure if they have the prostaff glass or the buckmaster glass in those particular models, but if you can get more glass and options for the same price by skipping the camo coating then why not. The Buckmasters are available with all the reticle and paralax options in several power/objective configurations.

These are a few of the scopes i would be intersested in for a coyote rig near the price of the scope you pictured, and all can be had for cheaper at places like www.samplelist.com, ebay, and any other second hand/demo site.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Pentax scopes. I have 3 of them and really like them. I have them on a 300 mag, AR 15 and a Remington 700 22-250. I've got Bushnell's, ATN, Lucid, T/C, Leupold, Millett, Tasco and cheap, cheap scopes on my 22 lr guns. Never any clarity problems except the cheapies (on my 22 lr). I'm kinda likin' those Pentax, very clear and around $200ish if you look hard enough online. I bought mine at www.eabco.com
