Hello all,
I am just starting out hunting and went with a 700 sps stainless in 308. I have just decided and purchased a Nikon Monarch 2.5-10x42 scope with Leupold medium DD rings and 2 piece base. My question is after getting the scope mounted at the place I bought it I tried to open the bolt and it hits the scope lens cover. The bolt completely clears the scope with the cover removed and the front of the scope has more than enough room. My question is should I try and shim the back mount or have someone else look at how it was installed? Thanks for the info.
