[QUOTE="green 788, post: 703718, member: 3781"] If you're wanting to split frog hairs... you could probably in a laboratory find some loss of clarity as you move toward the limits of erector travel... However, for all practical purposes, you won't see it. Not unless you have a really cheap scope. :o (and maybe not even then)... This is a long range oriented forum. Folks here are not going to seriously use Burris eccentrics to center a scope in the rings--there would simply be no reason to do that. Most of us use the entire range of elevation in a scope... we set our 100 yard zeros as close to the bottom of erector travel as we can, this to get as much elevation adjustment as possible, for long range shots... I put a 40 MOA base on my .338 Lapua Mag... the Leupold Mk4 scope has to be dialed all the way down in order to get to my 100 yard zero (I think I've got about a dozen clicks (3 MOA) left of down-travel when I get to my 100 yard zero. And I have honestly never noticed any compromise in optical quality at 100 yards, or at 1000 yards... or even with the turret topped out for 1 mile zero... the scope looks the same to me. Burris offsets are great for jacking up the back of a scope to get it to dial farther... but it's just not reasonable to use them to center a scope for a 100 yard zero--at least not for long range shooters who dial their shots. One last thing... the depiction of the bottomed out erector shown above it certainly exaggerated for effect... it doesn't move that far, with that much of a slant... it actually only moves around 40 thousandths of an inch in any direction from center, depending on the scope.
