scope mount fix
Almost everyone who has owned an encore has had this problem--it is their one serious flaw. Easily fixed though with Burris Signature rings and offset inserts. These are plastic inserts that fit inside the rings and have different thicknesses, so you can "shim" the scope without doing anything to the base. They sell a 3-pack with three different thicknesses that saves a little money over the individual sets.
Burris Signature Zee rings can be used with you current Weaver base. They also offer a more permanent but sturdier Dual Dovetail base for the Encore. You'll need a 1 1/8" dowel to turn the rings into this base.
You should probably center your scope adjustments before you use the offsets.
