Howdy,
I mounted up an older vari-x III 6.5x20 Leupold on my A1 22 PPC today. It is mounted in a set of OEM High 1" windage adjustable Sako rings. The parallax adjustment ring just barely touched the barrel. I mean barely, if I gently lift on the objective, I could adjust the ring without contact. Otherwise it's slightly ratchets on the barrel. I don't think any contact is good between barrel and scope, so I chose to shim it with some small strips of aluminum. I placed the aluminum on the bottom halves of the Rings and that worked, but then I thought would they be best there or at the bottom of the Ring bases. I do know that would slightly decrease the amount of bite that the mounts have on the receiver, but barely. Anyone have preferences and reasoning they wished to share? TIA, Gary
