Hi all i have a Howa 1500 in 223 with two piece mounts the front mount is 3.88mm off the reciever and the rear mount is 6.72mm off the reciever and the scope was a Falcon T35 Premier 35x56 and while at east holme we started at 200 yards no problems went back to 300 yards and i couldnt adjust the scope up as it bottomed out with no more adjustment left! looking at the turret i could see just past 4 and when the cap is off to reset the cap to zero it goes upto 6 so i was really surprised the scope wouldnt zero at 300! and when i moved to 400 i had to aim at the top of the frame that holds the target not good! someone sudgested i get a 20 moa single piece mount but i cant find any info on them ie the difference in thickness of the front and back of the mount to see if its much different to what mine already is, i would appreciate some help and input please

Thanks

What type of rings and bases are you using?

The bases are 2 piece and came with the gun so other than the measurments i dont knoe anything else about them, and the rings were only screwed in on one side so iv replaced them with a standard 4 screw set but not had chance to get back to the range.

Get a Picatinny rail with Burris Signature Rings

Sportoptics.com has this:
Weatherby Vanguard & Howa 1500, Short Action - 20 MOA
Talley 1913 Picatinny Rail - Matte Black
Model: PSM252150
$68..00, not bad.
Too bad EGW doesn't make a 20 MOA for the short action.
Burris Signature rings with the variable inserts can also add a lot of MOA. Get both things and shoot out to 1500 yards or so!
