Scope Mount FX No Limit alignment issues

Jump to latest Follow Reply
5 MoA is a small amount. That can easily be in the barrel itself, or at least a large portion of it. And even if 100% of it were in the mounts, that's not going to damage the scope tube.

To put it into perspective, it's like doing an initial zeroing at 25 yards and being off by a little over an inch.

Just use the turrets to dial it in.

Are you sure it's a mount issue?

Maybe rail not aligned with the bore?

Did you try to move rings around?

Hi. If i use the fix-2 piece mount, the alignment is spot on. If i use the fix-one piece mount, the alignment is spot on at zero windage as well. With the “no limit”, the poi is right side. So, the rail is not an issue. 


I forgot to try to reverse the tightening to the left. Maybe it will change the poi. But if it does, then there is something wrong with the mount.

Sorry, not 5moa. Its 8 clicks at 30 yards. 
I am afraid it will get bigger at 100 yards. The shooting range is closed. I live in the city. I can’t test the 100yards.

It is true that it is preferable to set your windage at the longest range that is feasible, provided of course that you have a suitably windless day. A real dead calm, not just below the human perception threshold.

However 2 MoA correction isn't a problem provided the mount is stable/repeatable. In other words if there is slop that makes the 2 MoA become 3 MoA if you give the scope a modest tap, that's a problem. Otherwise, compensating for 2 MoA with the turrets is not cause for concern. That will be buried in the noise floor for any real world shooting.

Thank you. My scope is nikon black fx1000 MOA. I am preparing for the reopening of the 150 meters indoor firing range near me.

Use a scope allignment tool whenever in doubt b4 potentially damaging a scope tube that may or may not leave dents and or marks as well as hidden no mark damages which may lead to not being able to use the full range of side focus or make it stiff as well as the elevation and windage and even the zoom power ring may be affected with very stiff control and sometimes even not being to rotate it all the way in one direction or have it stuck at one fixed power not able to zoom at all.

Lapping scope rings is a sure fire way to not damage scope tubes.

This is what i fear. Thank you.

There's the Sportsmatch adjustable rings that have BOTH elevation and windage adjustments. Then the safest bet are the Burris Signature and Signature XTR rings that are kinda fiddly to get perfect at first if you aren't used to them but don't damage scope tubes and they allow for elevation and windage correction with the proper inserts by rotating them in the front and rear rings. These specific Burris rings with the adjustable POSALIGN TYPE PLASTIC inserts don't require lapping.

If you want to cheap out (and be effective as well) there's the Sun Optics (formerly B-Square).fully adjustable version that has BOTH windage and elevation adjustments that are super easy to adjust that I like too for about half the price of the FX No Limits.

Thank you. I will check them out.

2 MoA is equivalent to putting a single thickness of copy paper (0.004”) into one of the rings. If that damages the scope or causes the turrets to become hard to turn, the scope is garbage. Just sayin’

CORRECTION:
Sorry, I was recalling the 5 MoA calculation from last night. This is actually equivalent to a piece of copy paper that has been bisected to 0.002” thick. In other words, absolutely negligible from the perspective of stress on the scope tube.
