			I never had the problem with my early 788s but they were for varmints and the objective lens on the scope required rings of at least medium height.  I imagine that makes the difference. 
 
The 788 was sure a lot of gun for the money.  I traded off my 22/250 for a benchrest gun (this was when B.R. scopes were about as long as the barrel).   This gun was only half as accurate as the 788 I traded off :-(  You don't always get what you pay for.
