Star1pup... why offset rings, tube length???
Yes. With regular rings the tube length was too short. It was still a tight fit and the forward bell of the scope has very little space between it and the base. The scope is a Leupold 3-9X-40. I also noted when pulling the gun up with my heavy hunting clothes on the scope would be better if it was moved back just a tad. Can't do it with this scope. I hate to consider a new scope as the Leupold is a good one. Maybe I could use higher rings, but that would make the scope hgher above the barrel.
Ohio's deer gun season is over today so I'll have a while to work on this. I'll be at Cabela's tomorrow and will see if they have some Remington AccuTips as the Federal ammo misfired twice out of 9 shots.
