Hello this is my first post, though I have been lurking and enjoying this site for some time.
I bought new Ruger 454 w/ a Burris 11/2-4x scope @ the end of March. The first time I took it to the range I noticed that the scope did not look parallel with the barrel. If you are familiar with the way Ruger makes their rings they have a lug seat that is cut in the top of the barrel for the ring to sit in. My front lug seat was not cut perpindicular to the barrel. Which made the gun shoot to the left of the point of aim even though the scope was maxed out in that area. The gun was shooting fairly tight groups at 100 yds. though. (maybe 2")
I sent the gun back to Ruger, they acknowledged the flaw and repaired it, though it took what I thought was an unreasonable amount of time to do so. (they didn't send me all ring parts either,but thats another story)
So now I go back to the range and I can hardly keep it on the paper at 50 yds.
What am I doing wrong? Any feedback would be appreciated.
