[QUOTE="Russell Sonner, post: 1829773, member: 112476"] You have .68"+ 1"+ .5" = 2.18" from the center of your bore to the center of your optic with your actions radius, mount height and scope radius. Your scope has a +/- 30 MOA range adj. with the reticle centered in its range. To lower your impact to be on target at 6 yds with a 1/4 MOA dial, it is approx 64 clicks per inch or about 140 clicks. This represents a 35 MOA movement of your reticle to zero your scope to 25 feet. So you can see the reason you were unable to reach center. I recommend you sight your scope to a point slightly less than the 2.18", say 2" above the bore and you will be shooting slightly above "flat" which will be close enough to get you on paper at 25, 50 or 100 yds, your choice. This is how I adjust my scopes close before going to the range. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
