I have a Leupold 3.5-10x40 (1") with the CDS turrets. I have good sight settings out to 500 yards but I am getting quite high in my adjustment range. I would like to build some elevation into the base. The knee jerk answer would be to use a 10 or 20 MOA base; however, I find that they are quite tall and I like my scope mounted as low as possible. The second solution would be the Burris signature zee rings, but once again they would be .140" higher than my current set up. My current set up is a 2 piece steel weaver style base with extra low? Burris zee rings. Would it be a reasonable solution to shim the rear base 0.010" and then lap the rings? Shouldn't this give me about 10 MOA of additional elevation? Does anyone see any issues with this approach? Is my thinking off base? Is there another solution that wouldn't raise the scope very much?
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
