[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4509246, member: 12277"] Is it possible that the scope bases have been installed in the wrong place? If they were different thickness this would leave the scope offset from it's proper alignment and account for having to use up all your adjustment to Zero. I don't know if this is even possible with this rifle/mount combination or not - just a thought. Surely when you put the shim under the rear base, it changed the POI?? It would have to. As the others said though you need the shim under the front base as that would tilt the gun downward and lower the POI. The real puzzle here is how you are getting such a flat trajectory out of a 308 Marlin Express?!? That bullet should not still be rising at 200 yards like that. There is no way you can get high enough velocity to do that. Are you sure you've fired enough shots at both ranges to be sure of where it's hitting??? [/QUOTE]
