[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 617040, member: 34084"] How far are you shooting? For ranges up to about 500-600 yds, depending on the rifle and scope, you don't need to shim or a have bias in the scope base. That assumes your base is properly aligned to the bore when installed. Some rifles have alignment error in the base due to loose manufacturing tolerances. Shooting beyond that range without a bias to the scope requires large elevation adjustments. Even if your scope has the adjustment range, it's not recommended because the optical resolution is worse near the limit of reticle adjustment. [/QUOTE]
