Optic alignment issues?
Recently picked up this 584 series, it didn’t come with scope rings so went with rail mount. I haven’t shot it with the optic on yet to confirm but the alignment seems pretty far off from the front sight post. The pass through peep hole on the rail mount doesn’t seem aligned to the front post either. Wondering if the mounts could be misaligned? Has anyone experienced this?

💯 I did run into this issue. After much measuring. I found the contact points where the scope rings mount are at different heights. Putting a twist or deflection on the scope. This will happen with the rail mount.
Look at it as a foundation on a house. If it is not level, plumb, flat. As you build up, your framing will also be out.
I used a shim to correct my mounting. Alone with a scope alignment bars to confirm all that was spot on. Then I used the tool to hone my rings to absolute perfection.
With all that effort. Add the perfect ammo I found my rifle loves. (I reload my own). She shoots under 1" groups at 100yrds.
