Finally shot a match with this thing. I must say, it's not too shabby.

I have a question regarding my recently purchased AT-X in 6.5 Creedmore. For optics I am using a ZCO 840 scope with a 1.5 Spuhr mount. I took it to the range yesterday and and attempted to zero it. My plan was to get it on paper a 50 yards and do my final zero at 100. What surprised me, is that it took 10.5 mils on the turret in elevation to get it on paper at 50 yards and the shots were still low. I find this strange because by other gun, a MPA Hybrid Hunter with a 1.125 Spuhr mount and a Nightforce ATACR 7-35 took only 3.5 mils on the turret elevation to get the gun zeroed at 100 yards. I can't figure out why there is such a discrepancy between both rifles. Now I am wondering if there is a problem with the scope or the AT-X rifle or could the difference be normal due to being different rifles, height of mounts and/or different scopes.
Sounds like you are talking about your initial adjustment from when you received your scope??
Both of my ZCOs came out of the box with elevation "bottomed" out. My Nightforces have not come this way. You might just be comparing apples to oranges here.
Random question, 10.5mils on the turret from what point? Centered? Bottom? Top?
My guess is your NF started near center of the travel in the erector system vs the ZCO that comes pretty much bottomed out. It’s not unusual for a scope to require 10+ mils if it’s near the bottom of travel to zero.
This is normal. There is zero issue with the scope or rifle. As mentioned above, ZCO's come bottomed out for full range of travel. Zero the rifle, set the zero stop. You’re done. If you find your self needing more elevation than is provided with this set up, you will need to purchase a mount with 20moa in it which will give you another 6mil roughly of useable elevation from your 100yd zero.
Fwiw it took 8mil to zero my tangent for my 100yd zero with my BRA.
This is an elite not-poor setup, well done
Pshhhh I don’t see a RAPTAR on that poverty pony
It is in fact due to poverty, that I do not have a RAPTAR. If you find it in your hearts, please donate to the fund. Also need a PVS 30
Well a lil bit off topic, i received my atx aics rem700 chassis today! Its pretty sweet. Wish they'd put an ergo vertical on these things out the factory, pretty much throw the stocker away.

My first AI or quick barrel change setup. Getting so poi shifts. Its a 6.5cm barrel I had cut down to 18” to lighten it up as I have a TS Customs 6 dasher on the way for comps.
Shooting 140elds. Hornady brass. Been fired in chamber. Annealed with amp. Sized with sac modular. H4350 42.2g. Br2. Seated 0.020” off. Here was todays range session. Ive noticed it a few times. Scope is zco. In m brace torqued to 55 in/lbs.
Point of aim is blue. Last group moved right and down.
Anyone else see this. Im running TB Ultra 7. I made sure it was tight.

Looks like shooter to me
How are you putting the barrel on?
Well now I just need my chassis back from being cerakoted Elite Moss…and the master race will be complete….ATX + TT
Thanks @MOUNTIC for excellent customer service and a great deal.

So what, didn’t like the blue, then didn’t like your home cerakote, now it’s off for official cerakote?
Hated the blue. I liked my home Alumahyde ODG color, but the finish wasn’t durable. After 2 Team Matches in November the blue was starting to show. So off to get blasted and cerakoted a color similar to Alumahyde ODG.
Will it go on the atx?
Thoughts? It’s a YouTube short with no explanation or anything to it. Heck the owner might even be a member in here
I'm confused, is he supposed to be having FTF's because he didn't practice?
I'm sure he mucked up the adjustment. For starters, he filmed it with a vertical camera orientation. I don't understand folks that video with a vertical camera orientation. In my experience, they have very limited mental capacity.
On the longer video he said it was bad primers.
Trust me, it wasn't just painful for Butters (the shooter) but those in the same squad too (me)......
It was bad primers, CCI's if I remember correctly.
Any higher scope mount recommendations? Currently running a 1.5" mount and its not quite high enough even with cheek piece bottomed out and all the way right. I have big cheeks.
Looking for a 1.7" or so mount. I know badger makes one but its cantilever and may run into eye relief issues.

Have you considered the taller action rail?
I have finally put together a AT-X after shooting an AXSA since 2019, and an AT prior to that.
