Frustrated over optic mounting....
I recently purchased my first Mossberg (the Tactical .22 flat-top)
While I do plan on shooting it a bit iron sights for the nostalgia of it, I happened to have an EOTech sitting in my safe right now and figured, well why not see how it feels......
So I tried mounting it up.....and then looked at the sight, and noticed it seemed ......well, crooked...
So I took it off, and once more tried to mount it flush........hmmm still off.
After trying over and over about 15 times, I could not for the life of me mount it properly flush. However on the front rail (the handguard rails) it mounted just fine..... so I tried holding the rifle down towards the ground and looked at the rail from "charging handle" to barrel, and it almost looks like my upper receiver rails are just slightly....well, "warped" to one side, they aren't exactly level or flat.
Is this a common issue? It might be small enough that maybe only my EOTech is going to throw fits, I lent my father an old 4x scope last week and plan on picking it up from his house tomorrow to see if it will mount, but I'm starting to get a bit concerned.
At any rate, seems like its a nice little rifle, pretty interested to see how it performs.
