adjustable scope base question

[lloydsmale]

When using one do you start with your scopes elevation adjustment centered for best optical performance or do you screw it down and sight in using the base so you have the most verticle adjustment with your scope ?

Adjustable scope bases are adjustable for windage but not elevation. It is best to start with your scope at mechanical zero for both elevation and windage. What brand base are you using?

 

[lloydsmale]

I was under the understanding that there are adjustable bases that will give you more elevation?

 

[wbm]

There are some bases that allow for elevation adjustment but most do not.

this is like what im referring to Heritage Arms Cold Shot M.O.A.B. 150 Scope Base - Vertically Adjustable long range scope base

To me that is a lot to spend just for elevation increase but looks like it would definitely get the job done. What are you shooting?

 

[lloydsmale]

just looking at it. Not really ready to buy it. I see some have 20moa bases to get more elevation, (I think that's what there called) is this just a base that slanted?

 

[wbm]

Yep they are just slanted. 20 MOA is a lot of elevation at 1000.

 

[lloydsmale]

thanks.

I was reading the specs on the link. It says that the scope base "will eliminate paralex in your scope" LOL. I wonder how it does with the common cold??
