I removed the scope from my 1322 yesterday; swapped one of the mounts out for a different one, took the other mount loose, and rearranged them. Then re-levelled the scope. I waited until today to re-zero the gun, and came to find it's hitting dead on the crosshairs!
They were all BKL mounts. The new one I used is the same height, but a different length of mount.
If I so much as remove a scope from any of my guns and re-install, the zero seems to always shift.
So I am a bit surprised. Especially given how flimsy 1322s typically are. I have done my best to eliminate that with a GMAC breech which has really superb fitment with the barrel. And very recently a Maverick barrel band. That band is so much better than anything else available, it doesn't make any sense. Maybe it worked. Maybe the gun is finally solid?
There's got to be some level of luck in play.... ?
I replaced the rear ring with larger one, and moved forward so I could see the numbers on the parallax wheel.
Old setup on left.

I tried making a secondary band (2240 band cut/ re-shaped/welded/tapped for new set screw). But my POI still shifted every so often. But it worked better than anything else did.
It's been close to 3 years on this one, and finally feels like it is complete. Not that I wont still tweak it a bit
