Glad to finally find a video where someone put shims under the Base and not in the scope ring itself. I just bought a new Remington Model 7 Predator in .223 and a Leupold VX Freedom 4-12 scope, Weaver mounts and rings and It shot a good five inches high at only twenty yards with the scope bottomed out on the adjustment. This scope has a zero stop and a one revolution turret that is mated to the .55 grain .223 bullet at 3,100 FPS so you zero at one hundred and then can simply go to the next number on the scope 200 and your right on at 200 and this continues out to 700 yards. We used pieces of the blades of an old feeler gauge and ended up putting twenty thousandths under the front mount before we got me about an inch and a half low with the scope bottomed out. I THINK I can sight it in now. Sort of disheartening to have to do this on a rig you just put over a thousand dollars in but that's the way life is. And shame on Weaver for selling scope bases that won't work with what they say they will without having to shim. We tried another, different model even Leupold scope on this setup and it was exactly the same amount Off. So it was not the scope. It is below zero and snow here so I can't really zero this rig yet but I have a lot more confidence that it is possible now.
@JimmyGunXD556 I appreciate you forwarding me the info, and will keep the formula on hand for future reference. Buuuuuut....I found out at the range that day I had an obvious malfunction in the scope department. Looking at other forums to confirm, I found other Center-Point (crosman) owners had some problems with the 4-16x adventure series. I called Center Point and they exchanged it no problem $10 for freight their and back. So I will know in 10 days or so what I got. Thanks!
Nice vid. I was opting to buy the Burris kit but thnk I am going to shim it like you did and save some money. I need 12" at 100 yards (.22 40 grain) How many "can" shims do you think may work? I am only asking in case you do know. I could go to the range and take the scope on and off 2 or 3 times. Thanks.
How do you recommend shimming a rifle shooting 6 inches high at 50 yds with a bottomed out scope? You just answered my question. I need to lose 6 inches of elevation. So I shim the front of the scope. I don't quite understand the science of it. But it should work.
@JimmyGunXD556 Got this online so trust it if you like number of mil rise you want in your case is around 12 divided by number of mils in one degree 60 so 12/60 = 0.2 then tan function of 0.2 = 0.0034906 take that number times the space between scope mounts in inches say 5 inches so 0.0034906 x 5 = 0.01745 or 17 thousands of a inch. But I would still buy the Burris mounts you might not have to buy the shim kit but buy the mounts I crimped the scope tube trying to use weaver mounts
@Golfnut1969 two years ago I couldn't find a video and yeah I know the mounts I bought for shimming the scope can shim the scope if you buy the second shimming kit that didn't come with the standard mount kit. Metal shims could be used if you didn't purchase the additional shim kit. I only used the can for the video removed it later.
