[QUOTE="green 788, post: 666506, member: 3781"] If the base is indeed a 20 MOA base... and there's nothing wrong with the scope... the next likelihood is that you have too much windage dialed in. What most folks don't realize is that the more you dial the windage to either side, the less "headroom" you have for elevation. Instead of having a full range of motion between 12 and 6 o'clock, you're only able to move the erector between, say, 2 and 4 o'clock before you bump the inside of the scope tube with the erector. Very common issue, especially with the windage adjustable rear bases, or with screw holes drilled off axis with the receiver/barrel. For those who do have windage adjustable rear bases, you need to center the windage turret, then rough the windage in with the adjustments on the base. If you suspect you have your windage dialed too far to one side, just count the clicks to extreme right then extreme left, and see how far off center you are. Dan [/QUOTE]
