I have an issue with a hunting revolver rigs and maybe some of the resident gunsmiths could give me some input.
I purchased a Ruger Blackhawk hunter. When I got it I noticed the barrel was machines wrong. I sent it back to ruger and they put a new barrel on it ( or at least they said they did). After I got it back I have put two different scopes on it and they both run out of elevation after about 70 yards. The scopes I got were not the most expensive but they were not the bottom line, a Weaver and a Bushnell.
Has anybody ever heard of issues like this, where a gun may prefer a specific scope? I don't believe it is still the barrel BC I have a red dot on it and it shoots good. I don't have a problem with keeping a red dot on it I just don't want there to be some deeper issue with the gun.
Input with be appreciated even if its the name of a knowledgeable person I could PM.
How much height difference is the optics centerline between both reddot and scope?
When I had a problem with one of my Ruger firearms I wrote them a letter (Im sure email would work)/ They sent me a detailed letter on what might be the problem and how to fix it.
do we have one?
not trying to be smart but do you mean RINGS and MACHINED? it's gonna be hard to determine anything without more info, gun in hand or pics. what caliber gun and what brand and type/model scopes are you talking about. if you are trying to make a scope designed for a rifle work on a pistol, there are a lot of problems like too large an objective lens and the wrong height rings and bases come to mind first. if the red dot works go with that. personally I think most people that scope pistols use too much magnification for hunting. 2-300 meter silhouettes is another story.
