Please excuse any ignorance here, it's my first attempt at this, and the process seems confusing. Have a Burris XTR II 5x25 scope on a 20 MOA base on a Howa 1500 HCR 6.5 Creedmoor rifle. Having difficulty zeroing the rifle. the Burris instructions state : "This riflescope is shipped from the factory with the optical center set 20 MOA below center. Without tapered bases the initial sight-in or bore sighting will likely produce a considerably high initial point of impact."
Does this imply that the 20 MOA base should nullify that factory setting, or does the rail multiply that divergence? An intial attempt to zero the rifle puts shots consistently high @ 100yds. Trying to determine how to proceed here in zeroing. I do have downward POI adjustment below the zero stop, and wondering if I should immediately use that, and if there's sufficient adjustment below to compensate to the 2 variances on the setup. TYIA.
