Zeroing

[Colton Compton]

I goofed and got a 40 moa base. I tried to sight in the scope and I bottomed it out. It's currently 1 inch high a 100 yards. I do have a little bit of wiggle room with a couple notches on my picatiny rail. Does anyone know how much change in elevation do I get in a single notch on my pic rail?

None, the 40 MOA is from the slope of the rail not the ring position. Something like the Burris rings with gimbal inserts is affected by the distance between the rings.

More info. What scope? Rifle?

Sig 716i, Athlon Ares ETR 3-18x50 Riflescope APLR6 FFP IR MOA, on a ADM extreme long range 34mm 40moa base.

You sure you aren’t hitting the zero stop? The scope has 110 moa of elevation so unless you are using a lot of windage to zero there should be no reason you can’t use that on a 40 moa base. Mount isn’t a 20 moa mount is it?

Bet you're hitting the zero stop my buddy has the same scope on his 338LM with a 20 base and we had way more than 20 down after we zeroed it

40 moa, my elevation is all the way down. Well, unless it comes with the zero stop in from the factory

 

[Rob01]

Did you read the directions on the zero stop? Something isn’t right as the scope has more than enough elevation for a 40 moa base.

As I asked your mount doesn’t have any moa in it does it? So you have 40 in the base and 20 in the mount it would cause an issue.

 

[Colton Compton]

I read the instructions. The scope mount is an ADM AD-Recond-Scope Mount- extreme long range with a 40 built in moa.

The zero stop ring is installed under the turret knob from the factory. The set screws shouldn't be tightened yet though.

Then does the base have any moa built into it? You wrote 40 moa base above. So the mount has 40 moa does the base have any?

 

[Colton Compton]

No,

I typed the wrong thing.
