[QUOTE="blygy, post: 222920, member: 6337"] My buddy has two of these scopes.. one on a 257 weatherby.. and one on a 204 Ruger. both are zeroed 2-3 inches high @ 100. We were entering a LR competition and my nightforce wasn't in yet so I borrowed the one off of the 204. I have a 20 MOA rail and it was about 14 inches high @ 100. No more adjustment.. I then tried a 4-16X50 4200 and the same thing happened.. I had a 3200 3-9X50 with a 30mm tube and it was very close but was able to zero it.. Now we have two rifles scoped up and zeroed.. So we move to do some LR work.. set up a target and back off to 585 meters.. I punch in the numbers into Exbal and tell my buddy to dial up 5 MOA.. he gets two dialed in and stops, gives me a funny look and shrugs.. He was at the limit on the other end of adjustment.. I know why mine wouldn't get to a zero.. but I'm still stumped as to his... He is using the leupy dual dovetail bases and rings.. I believe these maybe to blame.. We are gonna try a 10 MOA base and rings from a quality manufacturer and see what happens.. hopes this helps you feel not so alone... [/QUOTE]
