This is a new one to me. I have 2 AHR (cz550) rifles that each had 2 Leupold scopes that shot fine no problems. One had 2 1.75-6 vxIIIs the other 2 vxII 3-9 scopes, all 4 in Talley quick detach.

So things are going great right? Well I decide to waste some money before the government got it all. I got 2 Swarovski 1.7-10 x 42, 30 mm scopes. I bought talley QD rings and put one on each. Well at 50 yards they both shoot low and have no more height adjustment left. One is 9 inches low and the other is 6 inches low. After trying Warne rings and switching out various Talleys, I made no progress. I'm sending both Swarovskis back to have them checked.

I just never thought I had any real chance of a problem with Swarovskis. Anyone ever seen this before?

I had a similar problem finally determined it was how I had installed the talley rings on the CZ. The front ring should be placed on the middle of the integral base, not all the way forward. If you have the rings all the way forward or had previously had them all the way forward a "burr" can form on the bottom of the ring that will cause the front ring to set high on the base, which will not leave enough adjustment to get on target.

Would that few millimeters difference raise the front of the scope enough to raise point of impact at 50 yards more than 12 inches?

I would love this to work. How low was yours hitting before before sliding the rings back that little bit?

No burrs or abnormalities. Dang it anyway.

Does those Swarovski scopes have a Ballistic Turrent???

You might check your leupold scopes and see how much adjustment you have left in them when they were on the AHR's. With my AHR 404 Jeffery I am using most of the vertical, so it could be that there is just not enough adjustment in the Swarovski. Not sure why this is but a quick call to Wayne may help.

All you need is a tiny shim under the REAR base.

I had a Swaro scope that I had similar trouble with on a cz rifle where i also ran out of verticle adjustment with warne Qd mounts, I switched to talley's and had no trouble with getting the scope zeroed in.

Get thee to a competent gunsmith! Whatever mounts you use the reticle needs to be very close to the optical centre of the scope when sighted in, for aesthetic and/or optical reasons.

I have now run into the same problem twice with some of the newer Remington actions. Seems that they may have changed some of the heights on the rear section of the receiver and didn't tell anyone. Good news was that Talley was more than willing to custom mill a rear base so that I could work it out. They didn't know about it either.
