[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1495449, member: 30902"] Unfortunately rail manufacturers don't always get it right. Rifle recievers are also by design often not flat across the top which has to be accounted for in the manufacturing of the rail. What is the max distance you plan to be shooting? What is your calculated drop to that distance? With most of the rounds we're shooting around here you wouldn't even need anything other than a 0 MOA rail to get to 1000yds. Do yourself a favor, take a big piece of poster board or white painted plywood to the range. Mark a center dot on it for a target and set up at 100yds. Start with your reticle centered and fire one shot, measure the distance from POA. Without forcing it at all, run it all the way down, fire one shot, run it all the way up, fire one shot and measure the distance from POA to each. You can then do your conversions to MOA and figure out exactly where you're sitting and if you actually need more. Consider too you may simply have gotten the wrong rail, mispackaging of items happens all the time. [/QUOTE]
