Everything below zero on the erector,is 100% fhuqking USELESS. Hint.
20MOA inclination,is a joke,at best.
Hint.................
Stick, do you keep the erector at the center and make elevation potential from the rail and ring insert combinations and hash marks? Does keeping the erector somewhat centered improve optical quality and maintain mechanical quality of the erector? I ask because of your statement of being below zero is a waste.
Thanks
This is very dependent on scope design. A well-designed scope has optical quality and mechanical integrity that is affected little by the position of the erector. The SWFA SS, Bushnell LRHS, and several others, share this design commonality, and can be zero’d with enough inclination in the mounting system to bottom out the erector, with little to no negative impact. The Bushnell DMRII, for example, functions mechanically perfectly at all positions of the erector, but with that particular scope design the optical performance suffers significantly as the erector travels away from
With a well-designed scope, there’s no downside to adding inclination until the erector is about bottomed out after being zero’d.
