hard to explane this with out a pic. but l should be able to make it cleer anough
my scope is a NCX 8-32X56 it has lines on the elevation for every full rotation.
ex: _1 _2 _3 _4 _5 _6
my scope was pointing verry high.. the zero at 200 meters was on the 4th rotation line. so l took the scope of and changed the thingiy that levels the scope to a larger one that l had. now the zero at 200 yards is exactly at the bottom. so if l wanted to shoot at 100 meters or something l wouldnt be able to go down with the clicks.
l dont need any adjustments under 200 meters anyway. so l just zeroed the rifle like that and said this will have to do..!!! l shot at 300 meters and 400 meters to check if the amont of clicks l dield before would be the saim as it use to be when the zero was on the _4 line. it seems to need a extra click or two and an extra 3_4 clicks at 400 meters. but l couldnt tell for shure as the platform l was shooting off was horibly unstable and it was impossible to get a tight groop. at 300 and 400. the groops were good anough to hit a rabbit but still thay were not tight anough to tell.
may scope is a 1/4 MOA and it was 0 at 200 meter 11 clicks at 300 meter and 27 clicks at 400 meters.
now seems to be 0-12-33 OR one or two clicks more. shooting 175 grain PSP at 2860 fps 7mm rem mag.
the question is shouldnt l experience more dramatic changes in drop with changes in the angle of the scope looking up or down ??
