Something that is VERY common on older mausers, and especially sporterized mausers, is scope base holes that aren't on the action centerline. This will cause the scope ring on the bridge to lean one way while the one on the reciever ring is leaning the other.
A shim under one side of a base, and epoxy bedding the base to the top of the reciever, can get them back in line.
I've done this on at least 4 rifles, and it is invisible if you do it carefully with black epoxy. Release agent on the reciever, epoxy and shim stay with the base.
Some method of boresighting is mandatory for doing this.
Not knocking Burris rings, they are awesome. It just stinks to have to buy extra stuff to get a rifle up and running.
