The scope has one of those ballistic turrets, which allows you to make rapid adjustments to your point of aim at set clicks, from 100m zero to about 450m. basically a full circle of turns.

When I set up my adjustments for 200, 300, 400m, the adjustment turret got stuck just past 300m. i.e. it could not complete a full turn. I read the manual, and figured that there are not enough clicks on the scope, and I would have to raise the height of the barrel relative to the scope on zero, to be able to get enough clicks.

I guess the expensive solution is to just buy new bases with a 20MOA adjustment.(more money >:( )

There are 2 other options:

1) put a  shim under the rear base to raise it about 0.5mm
2) grind/mill/sand 0.5mm off  the front base with a rounded surface

Any idea's advice from those who have done it?

I'm also worried that a 0.5mm adjustment might change the position of the bases relative to each other so that the scope rings will require some lapping. I'm not sure that this is a real concern?]]> Mounting Systems Againstthegrains https://systemz.online/mounting-systems/altering-scope-mountings-to-accomodate-more-height-adjustment/
