Scope shimming/height adjustment.......
OK....... Hawke Compact 4-16x44 fitted on my now tamed HW95k, first day out to zero it and continue pellet testing only to find I've run out of vertical adjustment by quite a large amount!
With elevation turret adjusted to its limit point of impact is about 2" below point of aim at 25yds - shimming rear has been suggested, but its not something I've ever had to do before, and honestly a bit wary about how it could effect tube of scope with a mismatch between front and rear, wouldn't take much to mark or twist tube
Sportsmatch mounts seem to be out of stock everywhere, and only other I can find are the FX no limits mounts
Any clever solutions?
Springers (mostly), long, short, in the best calibre and the other calibre too
Some old, some new, all guaranteed to make me smile
