done deal!
Clevacat: This is for my ''fun gun''. It will be used almost exclusively for 300 & 600 yard target shooting. On my hunting rigs I do as you do: zero at 300 yds and compensate for anything farther out. Last evening I bedded my rings as described earlier with a .010" lift on the rear ring via laying a small piece of .010" feeler gauge in the bottom. It turned out beautifully,, smooth as a baby's butt; and very true. I now have no question the scope will have enough elevation to get to where I wanna go. Thanks to all for your responses and concerns.
