[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 1131184, member: 33915"] Hi, I very recently purchased a Burris Eliminator III 4-16 rifle scope. Someone online had recommended using a 20 MOA scope mount Weaver or picaninany (spelling?) style so I ordered a one piece Warne mount for my Savage LRH 300 win mag. The scope arrived yesterday and I installed the new warn mount and Eliminator which I had no problem doing using the included clamps and "B" shim that came with the scope but that's as far as I went with it as a couple things occurred to me after doing so. I never previously installed anything but zero MOA mounts in the past. Prior to installing the Warne mount I didn't measure either end to see which end was the elevated end and even if I had I'm not sure if the thicker end should go toward the muzzle or the stock. However I did a search online and it was said the thicker end of the mount should be toward the stock. This didn't quite seem logical in part because Burris recommends placing the B shim at the front of the mount which I assumed to be toward the muzzle end of the mount. Doing this would seem to negate the reason for the using a 20 MOA mount in the first place assuming the raised end of the mount is oriented on the stock end of the mount? One person reviewing the Eliminator III after installing the shim ended up removing it and going without a shim as he seemed to think the very same thing, that the only thing the shim did was turn his 20 MOA mount into a zero MOA mount leaving him with very limited Elevation? I definitely need educated on this issue. Any advice would be extremely welcome. Thanks [/QUOTE]
