Telescope mounting problem: Running out of adjustment
Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2017 12:54 pm
I recently replaced my 1.25 - 6 x 42 Zeiss scope with a 3-12 x 50 Zeiss using the same Weaver mounts and rings that previously worked, on my CZ 550 Mag 416 Rigby as I do not only use the rifle for close-up work....
On attempting to Zero the rifle I ran out of elevation adjustment ( Up) before I could get it to Zero at a 100m.
I then replaced the mountings and rings on advice of and fitment by (at cost $$$) a G/S with a set of Lynx mounts. The elevation adjustment (UP), at full stop, is lacking in height even more than the previous set-up?
What do I do?
Machine the Lynx ring stems and the screw channels at an angle and if so, how do I calculate the angle? The rifle currently shoots approximately 12cm low at 25M....
Not too keen to spend more on rings...
