[QUOTE="upacreek, post: 1216613, member: 59039"] So I got a new to me scope. Installed it in place of my previous scope and tried to bore sight it. I found the elevation turret had 2 1/4 turns down and 1 rotation of elevation "up" adjustment left. So I ordered a 20 moa weaver base and rings. Took it out tonight and found after 8 shots I had my first hole on my 30" paper target. Should have bore sighted first, dumb me. I was just excited to shoot. When I was done I found the same results as with the standard base. Its possible the base was in the wrong package cause I bought it from a 'gun pawn shop" and it had been opened. I also found the windage came out 1 1/2 turns left and 2 1/2 turns right. The scope I had been using was much closer to even than this. I ordered an new 20 moa base from an online store. It should be here next monday. Am I expecting too much? Is this normal? I was hoping for MUCH more elevation than this. [/QUOTE]
