LOL what colour was the dress?

I'd get yourself a new mount..even a cheap set off the bay just to test the scope is not the issue. If your irons are on target it's not the barrel, if your scope works with a cheap set of rings, it's not the scope, that leaves the mount...Don't Burris have lifetime warranty? They will replace or refund or take it back where you bought it and swap it for something else.
