Off set rings

[Lkwebb]

I was in discussion with a individual last week. I mentioned i used offset rings to help me keep my face off the scope. .
He mentioned at 100 yards he didnt see a issue with them but at 200 he said it would cause a problem.
Now im not experienced enough atm to really now idmf there is any truth to it at all..
Have yall experienced this or have a opinion on offset rings

I use them to 1000 they work fine. What was his problem with them.

Offset meaning more forward ? Theres no issue with that. Lots of us position shooters use cantilevered mounts to get proper eye relief in prone and sitting so your neck is comfortable. All the way out to 1000 yds
IMHO you’d have more problems without proper eye relief

Offset rings usually means it the scope is offset to the side left or right of the receiver depending on right or left-handed.

Yeah but I’ve seen it meant fore and aft too
As far as that goes left to right
One of our older shooters lost an eye but didn’t want to learn to shoot left handed
He built mounts for his match rifle sights and scopes to keep shooting right handed. He continued to shoot master which is what he shot before

I am assuming he was saying the accuracy or poa was not the same st 200.
I personally wouldn't think that would have anything to do with it.
Who knows he was prolly talking out of his jaz.

Called Off Axis. Well known on the old Win M94, 30wcf lever actions using side mounts.

A lot of Rail Guns have scopes that are off set quite a bit.

You just have to remember how much windage you need to move the bullet’s impact to the center.

Maybe that's why I shoot like crap.

OR (LOL) if you turn them around they'll be offset to the right! I have a couple of pair in 30 and 34MM (no, they are not for sale) and I just installed a set tonight. I've been using them for years, humm, with my score maybe that is another excuse I can have for the tack driver!!! Thanks Larry! LOL

Lol.
I personally have never thought about it the offset and the difference when makeing changes in windage or etc.
Now its something else I will have to figure out in time..im still trying to put all the pieces together....
