ok I have been trying to figure this out. I have a rem 700 S/A with a egw 20 moa rail and a vortex viper 6-20x50 bdc scope. The action has been trued and re-chambered by a competent smith,the barrel is a new Krieger. I sighted it in with a luepold 4.5-14x50 and all was good. I changed scopes and went with the viper. When I sighted it in it bottomed out on elevation and was still 5 inches high at 100 yards and no travel left. Took the rail off and bedded it (the rear base)and re-sighted it in and now I am still 2" high at 100. The scope has 66 moa of actual travel???? I checked the rings and they are the same hieght and thickness. What am I missing?
