My Anschutz 2013 can't get a 100 yard zero with Nightforce scope???

[my327vette]

I compete in indoor and outdoor smallbore prone matches with my Anschutz 2013. I recently purchased a Nightforce Benchrest 12-42x56 scope to try for the upcoming season.

I use an 8mm tall rail mounted to my receiver. Both my rear sight and my current scope (Leupold 40mm 24x with Redfield 3200 rings) for onto this Anschutz rail.

When I bought the Nightforce, I found a cheap pair of 30mm rings that mount to my Anschutz rail. I tried the scope today, but after getting a rough zero at 50 feet (the scope only focuses down to 25 yards, but I didn't have access to a 25 yard range this weekend, so I got a rough zero with it slightly out of focus), I only have 3 minutes of elevation left. This is a problem because I will need at least 8 minutes of elevation to get a 100 yard zero.

So here is my problem: how do I get the scope setup so that I have enough elevation to get a zero at both 50 yards and 100 yards comfortably?

Here are some possible solutions that I came up with, but don't know if any of the following parts are currently available for purchase:

1. A pair of 30mm MOA rings that mount to the Anschutz receiver dovetail so that I can slide the scope forward and back

2. An MOA rail that mounts to the Anschutz receiver dovetail and also has an Anschutz dovetail on top so that both my sights and scope rings will mount to it

3. A Weaver-style MOA rail that will mount to an Anschutz receiver without drilling/tapping the receiver or mounting with screws that will "bugger up" the top of my receiver. I prefer scope rails that tighten on the side.

I am open to any suggestions because I am currently at a loss. If you do provide a suggestion, I would appreciate if you could also tell me where to purchase the item you are recommending.

Thank you in advance!
Jerry

Burris Zee rings with inserts.

Burris Zee rings with inserts.

will these mount to my Anschutz rail? I looked on the website and I don't see any mention of the inserts for zee rings?

No, you will need a rail for Weaver type based. If you have a dovetail an airgun shop can help. Pyramid Air is who I use.

It may be an optical delusion, but in your photo, it appears that the scope is angled substantially upwards. Check that the rings are in fact the same height. Switching front to rear may be the solution, but I would be concerned about the alignment of the ring bores.

FX No Limits rings work very well for this.

Get a 20 MOA Weaver/Picatinny rail for your Anschutz and then mount the scope in a set of Burris Signature Zee rings. Use the supplied Burris inserts to optically center your scope elevation and windage at your preferred range.
It takes a little while and some calculations but it’s worth the effort.

I almost forgot this option that makes a signature zee work perfectly on an Anschutz dovetail. I have a couple of sets from when I had a few Anschutz sporters. Very light and compact.

I had to go with zero moa base.

This is the ticket if you are having an alignment issue, the only downside is it will raise up height over the bore a bit. Hope you have some adjustment left in your cheek riser.

The J&P rail adapters add maybe a millimeter over published Burris Signature Zee ring heights.

If it's super important I could get a number for this option, I have some extras on hand.
