[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 71403, member: 8"] I do not know yet how much I will need to shim. I put that scope (Lyman all american 8X )on my 17 Rem 30 years ago and it has never been off. For 500 yards I will be dialing up about 10 MOA and I may or may not have it available. I am not going to fool with it until I get to the range because I am not comfortable that the scope is going to resettle back to zero and I want to be able to shoot it back in if it is not going to repeat. Also need to run a box on it. All that is OK because I have a 100 rds of new brass that needs to be be shot once. All of the fooling around with the scope will give me an excuse to shoot the new brass then I can turn the necks a little and neck size it so it fits my warped chamber. Same exercise has to be run on another gun to see what elevation I got left to work with. On the one gun that that I have that was set up long ago to shoot to 1200 yards I am not going to admit on line as to how I shimmed it. However, if you ever read Nat'l Geographic you will notice that they have nice thick high quality covers. I know lots of tricks about what not to do to a gun. Now you got me thinking about what I have in the garage in the way of shims. But aluminum cans are easy and plentiful. [/QUOTE]
