    Will it effect accuracy?

    I bout some new rings for my savage 12fcv .223. When I went to put them on I leveled the rear scope base and tried to level the front base, but it wouldn't get level with the other one and vice versa. The gun is shooting one ragged hole at 100, I'm curious will this keep it from shooting accurate past 100? If so how do I fix this, the scope is a burris Fullfield II BDC. Bought the gun brand new from guns galore and they put the base on too....?

    if it was shooting 1 ragged hole, I wouldn't have messed with it

    it's not a rifle accuracy issue, problem is your mis-aligned rings may cause torque and shifting issues with your scope. Wouldn't be surprised if the uneven rings results in dents in your scope tube body

    do you have a 1 piece base or 2 piece ?

    Burris pos-align rings with inserts could possibly fix the problem

      Just put the burris rings on it last night. Two piece base; the rings I had before were too thick and I couldn't slide the scope back far enough to get good relief. Now relief is perfect! Just curious if the crooked scope base could do anything (not really bad just wondering). Thanks.

        Cajun Blake nailed it.

          Wouldn't a one piece base fix the problem?

            One piece base would fix that problem, if the holes are straight.... I think the only thing that's crooked is the OP! Lol

              Nice, I believe you fixed it. I'll find out in a few days I guess.

                Let me know! If it doesn't work I got a short action 1 piece base that will.

                  Yep the Burris POS-align rings are the thing to do with that situation.

                    This thing is stacking bullets at 250 now. It was pushing about 12" to the left before. Thanks for help fellas.
