Having trouble sighting in

[indabush]

I recently bought a Remington 700 Sendero chambered in 300 Wby. I installed nightforce 20MOA picatinny rail, 30mm ARMS throw lever rings, and a VX5 3-15x44 CDS-ZL2 scope. Problem is I'm shooting about 2' high at 100 yards and don't have enough adjustment in the turret to compensate.

If you have some, try a different set of rings just to see if you have the same problem.

You should have enough internal elevation (75 MOA total, unless I read it wrong) for 20 MOA cant. Did you set zero with the 20 MOA?

It's probably the zero stop - loosen the turret and move it to account for the 2-3 MOA you still need to adjust.

Any chance the rings are reversed? Sometimes there's a front and a rear specific ring in the set. Not familiar with your set.

I couldn't hit the target at all, I'm out of adjustment. I usually pull the bolt out, look down it to put it on the bullseye, move the crosshairs to the center of bullseye and shoot. Then put it back on bullseye then move the crosshairs to the bullet hole. Then I fine tune.

"If" you have 75 MOA total elevation, you have 37.5 MOA of up/down adjustment do when done correctly, you would have ~57.5 MOA of up elevation when zeroed with 20 MOA cant. Read up on your zero stop adjustment and re-zero.

ADDED: Not the best video but it gets the point across ...

Ditch those rings man. I run them on some Of my AR's cuz "clone" but they suck. I wouldn't even consider using them on a magnum.

I measured both rings and they are the same height, I'll go get a new pair of rings when Sportsman's open.

If your not shooting past 1,000 yards why 20 m.o.a rail?

Yeah ARMS 22 rings aren't offset they're identical height. Meant for Quick detach from a low recoiling 223 Gasser where repeatability to the level you're looking for with a bolt gun isn't necessary.

I guess I missed the part where the OP said he is not shooting or plan to shoot past 1KY. All my LRH rifles have at least a 20 MOA for the reason noted below ...
