I will admit to being an iron sight shooter and I know next to nothing about scopes and scope mounting.
I currently have an Anschuts 1807 mounted in an Anschutz prone stock. I have mounted a Leupold 6.5-20x scope on it. I use this prone to work on my prone position since the scope magnifies any movement.
My problem is that I am out of scope UP udjustment to get my bullets centered on a 100 yard target. I am maxed out of UP adjustment and I just make the bottom of the 7 ring on the NRA 100 yard target.
I have a custom made weaver mount in the dovetail of the top of the 1807. This mount has allowed me to use 2 Leupold rings with the quick removal to mount the scope. I guess that this custom mount is flat to the receiver (rather than having any negative tilt) and as a consequence I run out of UP adjustment. I am at about the +2.5 point on the UP adjustment when bore sighting the rifle to the scope.
OK, again, I don't know squat about scopes. I have 25 years of iron sights and 20 minutes of scope shooting in my background.
May I insert a metal shim into the bottom of the rear scope ring? I am guessing I need about 20thou of thickness. I would add this shim to the bottom of the ring, then tighten each ring carefully to minimize the stress on the scope tube. I am thinking I need a shim so that the width of the shim is about equal to the width of the scope ring. Obviously, I'm not shooting a magnum here so I don't need to crank down on the scope rings for tightening them.
I really would appreciate any constructive thoughts here. I'm just trying to get on target at 100 yards.
