Eddie, figure it out yet? Here's the only pic of a scope mounted I have, my question was do both of your rings look like these two, the nuts you tighten to hold scope to mount have to both face the same way. If not on yours, there's the easy fix. If they are both on right, it's like Sproul said. Btw, I've had terrible luck w/ two of those Horton 4x's, so that might be the problem. If you have another scope w/ 1" tube, switch it out for test purposes. Keep us posted, we all learn from stuff like this. Good luck
