When i ordered my Talley scope mounts, i gave them the info on the gun and scope and bought the mounts they suggested. When i set the scope on the mounts, before tightening, the scope didnt touch the barrel. There was daylight there. After tightening the ring screws, the scope is just barely touching the barrel. I cannot slide a piece of paper between them. Is this gona be a big problem? After sighting the scope i may shoot this gun twice a year. The barrel will never get hot. Its a 6.5cm if that matters. The only thing i can figure is the gun i bought is a heavy barrel and Talley must have figured it for a smaller barrel. Nevertheless, here i am. Im leaning toward letting it ride unless one of yall have done this before and it broke something. I understand its not ideal but will it damage the scope?
