Help on scope maxing out elev at 100yds

[Jpterry]

Rings can only go on one way and rear has a set screw that licks into rear dovetail base. No way to reverse or have them backwards.

I would try a different scope.
If that doesn't fix it, I would contact the manufacturer.
Maybe barrel to action fit issues..

Thanks everyone. Exchanged the Swaro and Optilocks for a Leupold VX6 and Leupold rings. If it still has issues then will figure it's the base built into receiver. Really hope not...this Sako Classic 85 is shooting awseome groups with the Berger VLDs.

I agree and would do the same. Good luck!



The rings should be the same as they come as a set but the mount are slightly different, one of them has a locating pin like as shown in the video ...

That helps. I would lean towards the most likely culprit being that they mismatched the rings at the factory. With the quality of both Sako and Swarovski it would be hard to believe that the receiver milling was so far off or that the scope was misassembled.
