    Nobody mentioned make sure you get the adjustment turret on the right side! Had a brain fart one day mounting a scope & it took a while to figure out why it looked sooooo weird. Dipshit had the elevation on the left & windage turret in the vertical position.

    Mmmmm ok dudes I have a bit of a dialema.

    Went from two piece 30mm optilocks on my tikka to one piece that are about 4mm lower.

    Now I have lost 7 MOA of elevation? Does this sound about right or have I cocked something up? Can still get out to 750 yards but thats not bloody good enough!

    Any advice appreciated.

    lowering the scope will change the angular relationship between sight and barrel so probably about right.

    My brain is hurting. So the front needs to drop or the back go up? Looks like one of the screws on the rail at the front are sticking up a bit under the front mount. May be the culprit
