Firstly assuming you know that at 50 you need double the amount of clicks for a given measurement than at 100,and consequently less clicks for the same measurement as distance increases passed 100, there are a couple of options here. Get a metric ruler,set your range finder to metres and then...

@Les in Wyoming , is it the HMR you have and are using the factory muzzle brake? If so there is a run of them that has too fine a tolerance in the diameter of the bore of the brake and caused major accuracy issues on some of the rifles. Bergara state a preferred 30thou clearance, a couple I shot...

I trialed it in 26 nosler, found it erratic with ambient temperature changes also

Just out of interest, are you doing load development with the magneto speed attached? If so, once you start shooting without it on your groups are most likely going to change drastically. As already stated, your intended use of the rifle will determine how far down the rabbit hole of low...

That's an interesting point about keeping everything centred as possible. We've applied it plenty to windage issues(especially with swaro scopes on some of the brownings we get in NZ) but never really to elevation unless a scope was near to maxing out for a given setups application. If this...

Thanks. I semi retired myself from agricultural spraying to do more hunting and shooting, but spend more time behind other peoples firearms than my own.

Sorry I wasn't very clear there. There is plenty of adjustment to get zeroed, but the 58 max becomes irrelevant after zeroing as Swarovski's zero stop system on the Z5 only allows about 90% of a revolution. Therefore you have 13.5 moa available after zeroing, regardless of zero range(unless for...

Hi All, I've used a bit of info from this site over the years and found it very useful. Another rainy day in New Zealand and just gleaned a bit more and thought I'd join. My interests lie in long range shooting,mid range hunting,gamebird hunting,fishing and diving. I split my time between...

Hi, may not be the done thing this being my 1st post and all, but here goes. A canted rail is of little use to you unless you have run out of elevation zeroing your scope, or if you intend on removing the factory installed zero stop. There is only 13.5 moa adjustment available in the Z5, you'll...
