Lack of adjustment
So I have recently got and used a couple of clicky scopes and I have come across a problem. On both setups I seem to only have a minimal amount of adjustment left in my scopes to allow for drop after zeroing at 100 yards.
Rifle #1 is a Husquvana with a Weaver 3-15 Super Slam. Burris rings and Weaver GS bases. Now from zero I only have about 14 MOA up left to play with, this only gets me out to 600yards-ish. The scope has ~56MOA in total.
Rifle #2 is a new Model 70 Winchester with a Leupold VX3 3.5-10 with CDS. Leupold rings and Weaver GS bases. From zero (@100yards) I only have 9 MOA left to me from an available 50 odd.
Now I know you may end up with the use of less than half the total adjustment but this is annoying.
AM I missing something here?
Can anyone offer some solutions?
Do those Burris rings with inserts work? I would guess they are hard to centre correctly?

Sounds like you have them wound over a long way for windage, restricting the amount of elevation available.

You are in need of an angled base .020-.030 thousands higher at the back to get back enough up clicks so you can shoot a bit longer
The Burris offset rings will work not sure if they do .020 but I know they do .010 offset.

The Burris signature rings work fine - put a -0.10 in front and +0.10 thou in back and presto - the beauty of this system is that you dont need a big high clumsy angled base - waiting for the rain of shit to start to fall:have a nice day:

Yip Burris Sig rings and inserts, one set pf inserts will sort both rigs :)
