Thanks everyone for your input! My setup is a nikon omega bdc that did have aluminum rings but before season I took the rifle to my local gun shop and had replaced with steel and also told them to check the base while they had the scope off. I shoot a 250 gr. shockwave that when I purchased I bought a couple hundred at same time and have been shooting the same ones for several years. and 3 50gr. 777 pellets.
In chaded's post he mentioned making shure my thimbles are tight but im not sure what that is? As far as the hindge pin goes I have seen adjustable pins for sale would these work or should i go with over sized?
