Frequently Asked Questions

Question: My SCOPED RWS rifle is shooting low and the elevation clicks in my scope are turned all the way up - what is causing this issue?

The RWS combo guns (includes gun, scope, & mount) are packed with an RWS Scope & RWS C-Mount. The C-Mount is an adjustable type mount that allows you to elevate the lower half of the scope rings - independently of each other. The reason the C-Mount is shipped with our combos is to prevent the problem you are experiencing. If you purchased the RWS rifle alone and want to mount a scope, you will need to purchase the RWS C-Mount or a similar type adjustable mount. The RWS guns are designed and built in such a way that the barrel is at a slight downward angle in relationship to the receiver tube of the gun. The guns lock up very rigid and are incredibly accurate in this design. To properly setup the scope with the RWS C-Mount proceed as follows: 1)Back out the lug screws that clamp the C-Mount base onto the scope rail 2) position base on rail so that the recoil pin drops off into the rearward round depression of scope rail 3) tighten lug screws securing C-Mount base onto rail 4) spin the bottom halves of scope rings onto the threaded studs so that they become slightly snug 5) then, elevate the forward scope ring 1/2 turn from snug & elevate the rearward scope ring 1 1/2 turns from snug 6) position scope in rings with minimum of 3" eye relief and apply top halves of rings 7) alternately tighten the scope ring screws 8)proceed to sight in rifle. With the scope mounting system set up in this manner you are slightly elevating the rear of the scope and therefore positioning it in a parallel line with the rifle barrel. This allows adequate adjustment in the scope elevation "clicks" to zero in the rifle.
