Scope mount troubles

So in the past few years, ever since Iowa grew a brain and legalized rifle hunting for deer, I stopped slinging cannon balls out of a pheasant gun. My first deer rifle was my second build (shepherded by Tack and Augie- snif I miss those guys) a AR in 450 Bushmaster. I took several deer with that rifle. I love the caliber but I don’t love hunting with an AR. So when Ruger offered an American Rifle in Bushy with a 22” barrel, I jumped at it. It has filled 1-3 tags for the last five or so years. Love this rifle.

This year I noticed that the scope shifts back & forth on the picatinny rail by about 1/32 or 1/64” It doesn’t seem to destroy accuracy, but does it bother me? IMMENSELY!

Is the rail out of spec? The cross bolts on the scope rings? It’s a Vortex scope and the guy at my LGS that mounted it usually does good work. I re-torqued everything to 20 in-lbs

Help!! What do I do?

Is the scope mount Picatinny or Weaver? It does make a difference.

Make sure you have the right rings and don’t buy cheap ones.

Yeah, weavers have a slightly smaller cross bolt.
