TomS308 , yes the side mount is tight on both the commie scoupe 6x42,and the new 100.00 side mount i got for the 10x40x50 ncstar (new).i took it out the other day and tryed to shoot clay pigon @ 50yd,and @100yd with paper target behind it so i could see where its hitting (this was with iron sights) could not hit the paper or pigon @ 100yd,but at 50yd got the pigon @the low right hand corner.put up another pigon @ 50yds and tryed it agine,and could not hit anything.i see where some one before me moved the front iron over to the right just off center of the mark thats stamped in it.i dont have a tool to move it back over to center,but i do have a sks tool that works to move the elev. up or down witch i did,i screwed it down a little. but havent tryed it yet .does anyone know where i can get a new barrel!

 Did you get this from Century ?
And while I hate giving bad news to people who are new here, I'm afraid that changing the barrel may be far more involved than you expect.

Talk to a Gun Smith, Or M25 Operater. But I THINK those barrels are welded on.

Try shooting lightballs, makes all the difference in my PLS

I have this rifle in PSL and had the same problem.  Changed ammo to the heavier bullets which are longer and ride the bore better.

Settled it right down.

The surplus 147 grain stuff is hit or miss in quality AND all of it is corresive ( do not believe it is not ) so clean you weapon with Hoppe's #9 etc.

Hope this is of help.
