[QUOTE="Muttt, post: 627087, member: 41202"] Well, I have a Viper 6.5-20 x 50 on my Remington 700 SPS tactical. I am using an EGW 20 MOA base. I originally mounted it using Warne Tactical high rings. When I zeroed it at 100 yards, I was at the very bottom of the travel and 1 inch high at 100 yards. That gave me 68 MOA of travel UP. Although I was happy that I had so much travel available, I didn't want to run the scope on the bottom mechanical stop. And, I wanted to be dead on with my 100 yard zero so my dope would read correctly. So, I replaced the high rings with a set fo Warne Tactical low rings. This shifted my point of impact down 9 inches. This moved me up approx 9 MOA which reduced my amount of UP travel to 59 MOA. I don't see my set up being any different than yours. They are almost identical. There is no way you should only have 6 MOA of travel left. Are you sure you aren't cranking the dail in the wrong direction? With 59 MOA of up travel, I can take it all the way out to 1000 without any hold over at all. Give the folks at Vortex a call or email. They are superb peole and will bend over backwards to make things right. [/QUOTE]
