[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 968875, member: 1133"] I have also gone to the point of shimming the rear ring to get the maximum usage out of the Burris ***-Align system on 22's. This is the Horus Vision Predator scope on a 22 with Burris rings. Once zeroed at 50 yds. I checked how much down was left in the turret, measured the spacing between the rings, plugged it into this formula-- [url]http://twincityrodandgun.com/Scope%20Mounting%20Tilt%20Calculator/Scope%20Mounting%20Tilt%20Calculator.htm[/url] , and calcd. how much shim thickness (plastic credit card-like strips seen in the bottom of the rear ring), I needed to max. the turret. Now I have ~150 MOA useable in my reticle/turret setup, and add 30 MOA to the turret when it's stored to minimize possible stress to the erector springs-- [URL=http://s157.photobucket.com/user/sscoyote1/media/DSCN0159.jpg.html][IMG]http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t49/sscoyote1/DSCN0159.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s157.photobucket.com/user/sscoyote1/media/DSCN0155.jpg.html][IMG]http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t49/sscoyote1/DSCN0155.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Now when this rig is zeroed for 50 yds. I have about 5 MOA down left in the turret. [/QUOTE]
