[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1733583, member: 12"] Some take the action out of stock. Use dial caliper not a ruler or tape measure. 1. Measure from bottom of action to top of scope tube. Say 2.750 2. Measure diameter of action 1.330 divide by 2= .665 3. Measure scope tube = 1.00 divide by 2 =.500 4. Add measurements from 2 an 3 .665 +.500 = 1.165 5. Subtract 4 from 1 2.750- 1.165 =1.585 scope height to center of bore Now play with any ballistic calculator and change that number by 1/4 inch and see the different drops. [/QUOTE]
