I'm new to ELR, so please be gentle... with that being said, I recently traded for a Cheytac M200 Intervention in .408 caliber and I need some help.
CheyTac's M200 Intervention website says this rifle has a "40 MOA" rail built in.
I purchased a Spuhr 1.18" 0 MIL/0 MOA mount, and a Vortex Razor HD 3-36.
The Razor says it has a max of 36.1 MRAD of elevation adjustment.
Today I fired my first round through the M200. I dialed my scope all the way down, used the zero stop to attempt to zero the rifle at 100 yards... (because that's what I've always done)... and I can't get the scope to travel far enough to be able to zero at 100 yards.
Can someone explain to me how to resolve this situation. Do I need a different mount? Does the built in rail have too much cant for this scope? Would a higher mount like a 1.5" mount make any difference? I'd like to have enough elevation travel to take 1 mile shots at a later date with this setup.
Ammo is DesertTech .408 CT, 2760 fps, BC: G1 .983, 400 grain.
Thanks for reading and hopefully I can get some information to make a more informed decision on how to fix my issue.
