LRP-7 MOA rail?

[timelinex]

Zeroed my scope today on my 308 lrp07 and I've only got like 7 mils of elevation left! I've still got a good 17mils the other direction.


The rail is built into the receiver, so how are you guys getting use of the rest of your elevation. It would be nice to put something on thats the equivelent of 40MOA or so. That would still have me far from bottoming out the scope, but give me another 11+ mils to work with.


EDIT:
So I found nightforce rings that have cant built into them but I see two problems with them.
1. They only have 20moa cant, nothing more. 20moa would most likely be 'enough', but more would be nice.
2. They are $250+

Any recommendations?

You could go with a sphur. I think you can get one thats 44.4 moa. I'd have to look at mine to make sure.

Looks like spuhr only has the high moa rings for 34mm scopes... And they are close to $500!

What scope is it? I have a steiner 3-15 mounted on my maten receiver in a NF magmount which has 0 moa cant and I have 23.3 mils of elevation left after my zero.

Something sounds awry if you have only 7mils of elevation adjustment in one direction and 2.5x that in the other direction with a basic 100yd zero.

What optic/mount/rings are you currently running? Did you reset your turrets correctly after zeroing? Zero-stop (if applicable) not fudging things up for you? Are you SURE you only have 7mils left (i.e. - have you confirmed that's all you've got left by actually dialing it to see what remains)? Again...I may be off base or not fully appreciating something that's going on here, but that seems completely out of whack to me that you had to use up THAT MUCH elevation to get properly zeroed.

I agree something sounds a little odd. What scope are you using? The zero-stop question is a good one.

I have an S&B 5-25 on an LRP-07 in a 6 mil (20.6 MOA) Spuhr cantilever mount and there are 21.5 mils up elevation remaining with a 100Y zero. Even if I switched to a non-canted mount that would leave about 15.5 mils up elevation available. The S&B has about 30 mils of total travel.

The scope of a Leopold mk4 and it is in American rifle Co rings (won them off here from vendor).

I agree that it is a little weird that it's so far off from the mechanical center.

I'm gonna take it to the range again tomorrow and check again, anything I should check in the meantime?
