[QUOTE="green 788, post: 669721, member: 3781"] The higher you dial the elevation (for 500 yards, say), the less windage room you will have in your scope. As the erector moves up to accommodate your longer distance shot, it moves to a narrower part of the scope tube (between 10 and 2 o'clock, say, rather than 9 and 3 o'clock). This might explain why you have enough windage at the 100 yard zero, but not enough at 500. I wouldn't try to solve this problem with burris inserts... I would get a Redfield style (traditional) windage adjustable rear base and conventional rings. Center the windage on the scope by counting clicks to each extreme, then half back to center... then use the screws on the Redfield/Leupold style windage adjustable base to bring rough windage in line. Finish up with fine tuning windage using the turret... Dan [/QUOTE]
