I'm sure this has been asked at sometime, but I appreciate the guidance. I am running a 308 Rem 700 with a Vortex Viper PST 6-24 x 80 in mils on a 20 MOA Badger base. I have the rifle zeroed at 100 yards and have dope out to 1000. Zeroed at 100 y, the scope only has 1 revolution of up adjustment left (5 MIL), but several down (20 or something). In otherwords, the gun shoots extremely low at 100y, so I had to burn all the up elevation zeroing it in. Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't this be the opposite? Shouldn't the scope have additional "up" adjustment since the base is a 20 MOA down angle? I was thinking maybe I need to switch to a flat base, but that would have opposite effect, right? Is it possible my scope is not quite right, or am I overlooking something or have something backwards? |

Yes, it is on correct. The screw pattern only allows it to be mounted one way. I pulled everything off, checked and double checked, and remounted everything. Same issue. Someone suggested to run a longer range zero, but if I am correct, that would require a steeper trajectory, and burn up even more of the little elevation I have left... |
