[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 2218929, member: 65338"] I made a video for bedding scope rings but never published it on my channel because it was so long, like 40 minutes. It’s an easy process but I need to do another video and just hit on the key points to shorten it down a bit. In my original video I went into all the mathematical calculations on creating shims to insert in the bedding for elevation compensation. If you know how to rework the basic math formula to create 20 MOA based on the actual distance of your rings then you can bed the rings to create any specific amount of elevation compensation you desire. I will generally create shims for bedding in the rings that give perfect compensation where your scope adjustments are optically centered at 600 yards. Most people just use a 20 MOA base and that’s fine, but most rifles require a lot less compensation than that to be optically centered at 600. you will have the best optical clarity when your scope adjustments are centered and the quality of the picture can slightly degrade the further you go from center. I feel 600 yards is a good distance to be centered because it gives excellent optical clarity when dialed down for close 100 yard shots or long 1,000 yard or longer shots. I do not like scopes with 10x mag ranges and a lot of adjustment built in because they have poor optical quality on high power when the elevation is turned beyond 75%. [/QUOTE]
