[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 1131748, member: 33915"] I'm replying to my own post. Kinda like talking to myself I guess:) I did a little more research on line, actually at this website. What I found is the A shim is for a 10 Moa mount B is for a 20 and C for a 30. So I assume if you have zero MOA mount you don't need a shim? I did use the B as I have a 20 Moa mount. I went ahead and took it to the range and sighted it in, first at 50 yrds, then at 100. I had bore sighted it first but the first shot wasn't on paper at 50 so I pulled the bolt out and looked thru the barrel and roughly centered it that way then readjusted my Elevation and windege to coincide. The second round was on paper and it seemed to adjust fine and group fine from there. I measured the shims A and C and A measured .108 and C = .135. I assume B measures somewhere between the two. The shims have a slot in the middle meant to be secured in the one of the lands of the front mount. Again, just looking at this from a layman's point of view is that if you bought say a 20 Moa mount with the intention of giving the rifle scope combination 20 Moa more range and you use the suggested shim you are actually bringing the mount set up right back to zero. I say this because the thicker end of the 20 Moa mount is to the rear and the shim is meant to be placed in the front of the mount, that puts you back to level again. If this is Burris's intention maybe the math of the on-board computer works more accurately with the mount level and Flat at zero MOA? Soo, I think if you really want 20 more MOA you would go without a shim? But would that mess up the math of the computer? The range I shot at only goes out to 100 yrds so I will have to see if my set up using the 20 MOA Warne mount and "B" shim will get me the range I need. If any of you feel my assumptions about this seem incorrect I would welcome you to correct me. Thanks [/QUOTE]
