I would recommend sending it back...for a number of reasons, not the least being that it doesn't fit. These so called "Scout Mounts" are notoriously weak and any scope used with them will almost never hold zero - ESPECIALLY with a hard recoiling rifle like a 8mm. Secondly, if the fit from the manufacturer is that bad, the problem will only be compounded. Don't waste anymore time, energy, or money on that thing. Ship back fro a complete refund, INCLUDING your shipping charges!
