[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1402908, member: 104363"] I bought a 20 moa picatinny rail for my scope base. I checked the bore sight and found it would bottom out my vertical adjustment at 100 yards and not get me to zero. So, I played with shim stock up front to get my turret about 1 full turn up from bottom. My scope has 90+ minutes of travel, 30mm Leupold. Once I figured that .015 inch shim stock was good, I had 78 minutes left to play with going up. I then glass bedded the front shim stock and rear of the rail, and lightly set the torque of the screws to just "hold it" during cure, using release agent on screws and receiver, so that it can be removed in the future. By bedding it, it adds no stress to the receiver when torqued. Now I start at one turn up and have a great deal of vertical to use. Since I have no zero stop, I can visually tell when I go up to 1000 yards and return to my zero reference easily. That's one way.... [/QUOTE]
