I took it out to the range to zero. I have managed (with some difficulty) to zero at 100m ( I have plans to eventually zero this rifle at 200). The problem I have is that to get this zero I have had to wind the elevation turret all the way to the highest zero stop. I have 13 Mill of elevation travel to the bottom stop but it is all in a downward direction. Someone suggested a 20moa rail would work. Ideally I would like the 100m zero to be a few clicks for the bottom stop to allow me slight adjustments for closer shots but have all of the travel available so that I can get out to 550-1000m. Any one have any other ideas
Do you have a picture of the scope ON THE gun that you can upload ,
who fitted the scope for you "did they have any experience at fitting scopes"
