I just set up my encore rifle with its new Conquest 3.5-10 scope. I used my buddies laser bore sighter and boy did it ever make short work out of leveling the scope and hopefully getting me on paper quickly.
I am just a little puzzled with how much elevation was required to get the cross hairs centered. The turret is only graduated on half the cylinder. So from the factory setting I had to move the cross hairs up all the clicks. I didn't count how many it was, unfortunately. ( I should go and count how many now)
There is still more elevation available, but I'm just a little concerned with how far I had to move off center from the factory setting. I have had a scope let go on me with too much windage movement.
My set up is the above mentioned scope on an Encore(pro hunter barrel) with a leupold base and dual dovetail medium rings. This would be as low as I could go and doesn't leave much room for cocking the hammer or barrel clearance on the objective.
I was just wondering if this was a normal thing with an Encore? Is this something that happens with a laser boresighter as it travels in a straight line instead of an arc? Maybe if I had a chance to shoot it I would have answered my own questions. I suspect that once I have it zeroed I wouldn't require to change the elevation and it shouldn't be a problem.
Oh yeah, and those leupold rings were a major pain in the a$$ to adjust.
