What mount and scope are you using? i dont know the name of the mount its in russian, but its a side mount with a weaver rail on top. the scope is a tasco 3-9X40. the scope shoots strait on my remminton 22, so this weekend im gonna swap the mount with my brothers mount because his shoots strait. so well see what happens.

Koevoet 0 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 The Saiga/AK rail is not very precise.It's designed to be used with Soviet military scopes that have a wide range of adjustment.When using a standard sporting scope like the Tasco you need to adjust the screws on the Russian mount.Is it clamp on style with two sections held together with screws?Those screws are the wide adjustments for sporting scopes. Here are the clamp adjustments but not the screws. http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/clamp.aspx http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/Manuals/KOAKClampAdjustment.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koevoet 0 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) This is how the Vepr mount solved the problem.I'm not sure how easy it is with your mount. http://www.robarm.com/vepr_mounts_and_optics.htm Edited April 5, 2007 by Koevoet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koevoet 0 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Oh your mount may not have those adjustments. Some more slamp info though. http://www.tantal.kalashnikov.guns.ru/pso/...adjustments.htm The screws on your mount might not be adjustable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
