[QUOTE="Senderofan, post: 1045712, member: 13831"] When the three allen head screws are loosened......the turret cap has been disengaged from the turret mechanism. So re-positioning the cap to read ( 0 ) does not affect the position of the turret mechanism. It just gives you a reference for your zero setting.....if your scope does not have a zero stop. Canted bases are used a by a bunch of shooters. As an example...one of my 1,000 yard guns had a Sightron SIII 10-50X by 60mm scope. Great scope for 1,000 yard target shooting bu it has only 50 moa of internal adjustment. With my 20 moa base...I had no problem at 100 yards and had plenty of elevation adjustment available to get me to 1,000. Not sure I could have made it to 1,000 with a flat base. Good Luck.....Hopefully I haven't made this clear as mud for you, Wayne [/QUOTE]
