What I suspect is that the side mount part of the Saiga itself (the part the scope mount slides into) is probably not square with the bore causing the top of the mount (and therefore the scope) to be out of line with the bore. And I don't think equal height higher rings will help - they will still be misaligned. I suppose I coul

I reset the scope elevation to its midpoint and then used a laserpointer to shoot across my living room a
