"I just loosened the rear windage screws on the mount and moved them in the direction needed and was able to zero the rifle and have adjustment left in both directions. So maybe the shooter needs to get a scope base with windage adjustments in it because there is a lot of side to side adjustment just in that part of the setup."
True. And on a mild recoiling rifle they're fine. I wouldn't trust that rear ring though on something with a lot of recoil since there's very little there holding it in place. The front reing takes the brunt of the recoil in that setup. With a Weaver/Picatinny style base and rings you have a much stronger setup for withstanding recoil due to the cross slots and bolts albeit with the lack of windage adjustment you have with the Leupold/Redfield style. But that's where the beauty of the Signature rings shines.
