Hey all, I’m having some issues and I’m not sure where to begin. I feel like I want to just get rid of this gun. I bought it about 4 years ago, chambers in .30-06. I put a Bushnell Banner 6-18x 50mm on it. Had to go with Remington high mounts because Leopold doesn’t make them. I loaded some rounds for it, I shot core-loks and half a box of Federal premiums in it…I could barely get it on paper, much less dial it in. At some point I must have put the factory scope back on it and it did ok, so I sent the scope back to Bushnell and they replaced it. Season must’ve ended and I never put it on the gun. Things/life happened, haven’t picked it back up until yesterday. I mounted the rings and new scope, and had issues with dialing in the elevation when bore sighting. I had to put shims in it. Got it bore sighted, took it to the range and started at 100 yds. Wasn’t hitting paper or anything. Moved target to 50 yds, 1st was a flyer, second and third hit 8“ left of center, moved cross hairs to the right, fired, adjusted again and look in the glass, and all of a sudden it looked like trash in my scope. Like the reticle had split apart all the way on the right. So I put the gun down. Obviously I need to call Bushnell, but has anyone else had trouble with these rifles and other scopes? The bell wasn’t touching the barrel…I don’t know what caused the scope to do that? It’s almost like these scopes aren’t made to work with these guns…any suggestions on an inexpensive 50mm objective scope that anyon has had experience with? Thanks in advance
