Friend has a mini-14 he has never fired, said he bought it used. Has a Simmons scope 3-9 mounted with Ruger factory (high)mounts because of 50mm front lens. .223
Ask if I would test and zero for him, of course, I would do that, well on first shot at 25 yds. Completely missed target 3’X2’, so moved closer maybe 25’, ok now hitting target (low left) Was able to get elevation up to same line as bullseye, but ran out of clicks trying to get impacts to go right.
Remounted scope mounts, swapped front to back, still same problem. Shots good on elevation but 4” left, and out of clicks to get more movement. So changed scopes, still same problem, frustrating to say the least.
Any ideas what to try next, the rifle prints hit all together with in an 1”@ 25 yds just cant move over to right on either scope.
