Hello,
There is no gap in the rings, its just light reflection. There is no binding and the alignment works smoothly when pivoting the scope into position.
and....
Yes, the front ring is .017 inches higher than the rear. I am not sure why. According to my calculations the bullet would impact 8 inches low at 50 yards because of this offset. Perhaps muzzle rise from recoil will bring the bullet up to aiming point. Test firing will see what happens. Regardless, the scope has adequate elevation adjustment to compensate for this offset.
Aah, at least our eyes weren't telling lies. Obviously the rings you picked up second hand for a Sauer 600 are not quite the correct ones for your Krico 700. While the setup seems to be working in terms of getting a satisfactory POI, I imagine the scope adjustments are well away from the ideal centralised position, or at least close to central. Personally I couldn't live with the aesthetics of the scope being noticeably 'off' horizontal. Couldn't the scope be shimmed in the rear ring?
