Did you get out to shoot your rifle???

Unless you got a lemon, the EGW is better quality.If I have enough down adjustment once zeroed tomorrow. I will most likely order a 30 MOA base. Any recommendations on a brand for a 30 MOA base? I have a Weaver and an EGW base now. I prefer the feel of the Weaver. It is heavier and feels as though it is better quality.
Is that the mid point of each knob's range of clicks?Boresight ended up being 10 MOA below the center of the scopes adjustment range. Boresight windage is nearly dead center of the scopes adjustment range. I will be sure to note where my POI is when I sight in tomorrow.
Yes, the windage is nearly exact and the elevation is 10MOA below the scope's center of adjustment on the turrets.Is that the mid point of each knob's range of clicks?
I think I already know the answer to that--it's a BSA with arbors and the glass on it is pretty crappy--though to it's credit the 1 to 4" grid @ 100 yds does match exactly to the MOA clicks on my loopy. The problem is when the scope is mounted to a canted 20 MOA rail, the grid shifts to the upper half of the field of view, so you can't really measure much of the elevation of the scope to the grid before your dial up drops below the grid.Don't be concerned about the scope and collimator axes height above bore axis; doesn't matter. Tell me your collimator make and model and I'll explain why.
Read the last paragraph in post #13 on this thread. Let me know if you don't understand it.
@Bart--perhaps I don't understand that correctly--I thought I responded to that in the next post I did. My take on that is putting a pressure point on the juncture of the tube and objective bell not only most likely will result in an asymmetry on the tube body of the scope--but can easily damage the internal mechanisms of the scope if there is enough torque provided by the rings. I ruined a scope to prove it.I may have found the issue. When I mounted the scope, I must have inadvertently slid the scope back on the rifle. I normally mount my front ring edge about an eighth of an inch from where the tube begins to transition into the Objective. I noticed thee edge of the front ring was right on that datum line. I can not be 100% certain that the edge of the ring being on that datum line did not can't the scope up slightly at the front. It couldn't have been more than a couple thousandths of an inch I don't think. I don't think that it would cause a 60 minute of angle or so change. A change that large would be easily seen by someone looking for it.
The scope's line of sight axis is typically not on the outer tube's axis when those knobs are midpoint in their mechanical limits.Yes, the windage is nearly exact and the elevation is 10MOA below the scope's center of adjustment on the turrets.
OK--but if the entire scope body is under asymmetric pressure--can that not also affect other parts of the scope even if it is not in direct proximity of the scope ring "pressure point.?" Sorta like bending a stick between your hands--it may not necessarily break at your hand.There's nothing near the main tubes junction to the slope on the objective bell that a couple thousandths dimension will change.
Yes, 20 MOA base and 100 yard zero. With this ammunition I have 41.75 MOA of Up adjustment. It would be really nice if I can find a 30 or 35 MOA base for this rifle. A 35 MOA base should give me around 57 MOA of up adjustment. And hopefully leave me just enough down adjustment to zero at 100 yardsThis is on the 20 MOA base? How much dial up elevation do you have (assuming 100 yd zero)?
