Scope shim table guide

clivej

Here is a guide for using a shim under the mounts to give you extra elevation on your scopes.
Use a cut up feeler gauge for the shim and you will have the correct thickness shim.

Bushnell Scopes made the data.

would you have to lap the rings if you use shims?

clivej

I would think so but not sure.

to do a proper job you would, I lapped a set of rings that I shimmed to get some extra elevation for a pm 2 scope on a sako 75, to take her out to the 1 k mark;)

BUT not if you have the Optilok ring inserts as they will adjust for the shim
