[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 197197, member: 10"] GG, Yes, the Weavers are very limited in vertical adjustment range. You really have to be careful when you set one up. On a custom rifle, its not that big of a deal because the barrel threads are true or trued and the receiver and barrel bore are on the same basical axial plain so you can use more MOA in actual adjustment then chasing a barrel that is pointed the wrong way!!! I have seen this in several occasions where most of the vertical adjustment was used just getting a Weaver Tactical zeroed at 100 yards. I generally use them on 20 moa rails, you can not use them on 40 moa rails. I have also seen issues with guys using them on factory rifles with rail bases and the lack of ability to adjust for windage when zeroing with factory rifles. The more windage you have to adjust into one of these, the less vertical adjustment you have. Simply put, you need to do everything possible to keep these scopes zeroed as close to their mechanical center as possible as there is not alot of room for error. That said, when sighted in perfectly, for example with my 270 and the 169.5 gr ULD RBBT loaded to 3350 fps, you can zero at 250 yards and the bottom post on the mil dot reticle will be dead on at 1050 yards. Again, thats for a given elevation range and given temp range. Stay in those perameters and they work amazingly well. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
