Thread: not enough elevation in scope

Nope, barrel got to go up or scope down.

It’s 100mm low at 100m, scope needs to come down to meet POI.

But agree, not a great option! I assume it’s a piss take!

You're right! I was laying upside down when I made the comment and had myself all cocked up.

Hoseclip!

I use steel or brass spacers cut to shape under the base to raise it up enough. Always works l

Buy a scope with 80moa to 100moa.Theres some good $500 scopes around.Save you the cost of ammo buggering around with yr present low moa scope.

20 moa rail and any weaver style ring

This is your best option

scopes on sideways, rotate it so there is a windage on the right hand side

down is taking you right at the mo

Looks correct in that regard. If you rotate it, the elevation knob will be on the left hand side, or rotating it the other way will have the windage under the scope.

I see that now I zoomed right in
It looked like a flat surface on my monitor

have bought some zero lok nikko rings and the difference is .5mm in height between them and the talleys.using my laser bore sighter i can now get it more or less zeroed with more adjustment to go . will hit the range in friday and have a play

@sig4x4 Could you please post a closeup picture of your new setup.

been in his situation in the past with a scope . . nice scope just not enough elevation, eventually it was sold for a 30mm tube with enough elevation.
i like the idea of when the scope is zeroed your right in the middle or very close to the optical centre of the reticles travel . . takes a wee bit of fcking around but worth it to me.
i use Burris Z rings mostly with the oval plastic inserts . . you can correct windage as well as elevation with extra inserts available in different amounts of Cant.
Theyre not cheap but its done properly, using bits of tin cans and bending your scope ( which does work ) seems not such a good idea to a optical device.
good luck . . R

Whn i buy any new scope i dial it to the bottom of elevation,dial and count to the top of elevation.Dial back down half yr count.Some scopes have more or less than what specs say.
