Hey, guys and gals. First post here so I'm not sure if it's been covered or not. Here's my problem:
I have a post 1964 Winchester model 70. 1969 I think. Anyway I used to have the factory stock on it and a cheap tasco scope that came with it when I bought it. I just replaced the stock with a Hogue and the scope with a vortex crossfire ii 6-24x50. I was about 1.5-2 inch groupings at 100 yards before with the old equipment but I wanted to start running out to 3-600 yards at a new local range. My vortex after sighting it in at 100 yards today was maxed out but still shooting about 2 inches low. Within an inch grouping but low.
I pulled the scope off when I got home and noticed the front sight base is lower than the rear and at a bit of an angle slanting toward the muzzle. Windage was almost perfect out if the box, 3 or 4 clicks to the right.
Scope mounts are high and also from vortex. I think the scope bases are standard Winchester 2 piece but I don't actually know as they were on the rifle when I bought it.
How can I fix this, preferably by myself and without breaking the bank?
Thanks, everybody
