I need to add a little downward angle to get some extra MOA out of a two-piece base.
Do the Zee inserts work? Do they put any undue stress on the scope, particularly with a two-piece base? Thanks. |

I've used them for years.They can be a little tedious to set up but once you get the right combination it will never change.
For maximum benefit you will want to start by " centering" the scope adjustments..........turn to STOP ,turn to STOP in opposite direction counting the CLICKS then set adjustment to midway.Do both elevation and windage turrets.Install the bases and bottom ring halves,using "0"(concentric) inserts ,set the scope in just the bottom ring half....make sure it is seated.Bore sight the rifle in a solid rest and see which direction you need to move the scope and mix/ match inserts to move accordingly.Remember,theinserts must be used as a set.......a +5 must be used with a -5. It's possible,and I've done it many times,to have the first shot from a new scope mounting job to be within 6" of point of aim at 100 yards. You might get lucky and get within 2",as I have done a couple times. For what you are wanting to do they should work just fine. I know I have a box full of '0' inserts and may have others.Let me know if you need any of those. Good luck! |
