Thread: not enough elevation in scope

Alternatively, the burris Z rings with the inserts as someone suggested already, you can increase your elevation in steps of 10moa up or down if I remember rightly

Will still need a picatinny rail if using Zee rings (I love Zee rings). Or Weaver 2 piece bases.

I'm still concerned we are missing something here with this problem but I'm struggling to suggest anything different.

Maybe a faulty scope. Was it brand new?
Could rotate it 45 degrees anti clockwise and see if problem is the same. Windage becomes elevation.
If access to a collimator check scope has full range of adjustment available windage and elevation. Start by optically zeroing the reticle.
How much elevation adjustment was there left on the old scope when it was zeroed at 100 metres?

OP shouldn't have to fit a 20 MOA rail/bushed rings/coke tin packers to get a centre hit at 100 metres. Despite the scope having limited internal elevation in its design.

Not sure it'd necessarily need to be a full length rail, if you got a couple of rem 700 two piece bases that were the right distance apart, the zee rings ought to work, from memory the 10moa increments are afforded by a 5" spacing between rings, but slightly more or less will still mean you get elevation in whichever way you want. They are nice soft polymer after all, not going to hurt the scope by clamping down on slightly incorrect inserts.
