I’m curious to know approximately how much do you all choose to raise the rear end of an adjustable scope ring/mount to achieve what you want in achieving lots of elevation turret dialing. Are you typically just after the 20 MOA which is only a strong 1/32” rise(for 100 yards, and a distance of 6” from rear ring to front ring) or if you just are guesstimating the gap of rise at the rear, and only concerned about preserving your scope’s optical center?
Just curious. I’m using only the Athlon one piece cantilever mounts these days as a fractured set of no limits turned me off from ever buying them again, but I’m considering giving the no limits another chance.
Two reasons- I have total control of how much I can raise the rear vs a fixed 20 MOA that the Athlon cantilever offers, and second, I can easily swap out the hardware on the fx no limits to stainless Torx to match up with the rest of the guns stainless conversion(looks awesome, btw)
A lot of the other mounts use the same M4 bolts on the rings but the head diameters are smaller and those typically are used in the gun smithing industry and are not only hard to find just in black steel, but not even available in a stainless.
anyway, back to the question on the gap at the rear mounts.
