I need someone to double check my math.. I have a vortex viper 6x24x50 mounted on talley one piece rings sitting atop my Kimber Adirondack.
When zeroed at 200 I was only left with 10 moa of vertical adjustment left..
I tried but failed to find anyone with an off the shelf one piece system for this rifle so I've found a machinist who can mill my rings.. So I'm doing the red neck method to figure out how much he can remove so I can still zero the gun... I've placed 5 layers of beer can shins under the rear ring.. And snugged them down gently.. The total shim thickness calipers at .04...
I found an old thread on here that gave me this formula.
Shim thickness= distance between the rings x moa u want to move at 100 yards ÷ 3600...
Now it's been a long long time since high school.. So my algebra is a bit rusty.. Lol.
With my shim thickness a known value of .04 I ended up coming up with 34.4 moa change at 100..
Which would nearly perfectly bottom out my current and give me maximum up elevation adjustment....
Am I correct? Headed to the range tomorrow to test but if I'm off be nice to just change it before I get there..
