Does anyone happen to know off the top of their head (or have it written down handy) how to measure the slope of a scope rail and convert it to MOA i.e. 10, 20, 30, etc.? I understand the basic idea, but converting angular measurements tends to trip me up.
I have a gun sitting here with a (supposedly) 20 MOA scope rail on it, but when I put a NF 12-42x on it, I wind up 10 or more MOA low, and have to use Burris rings with the shims in them to raise it back up. Because of the nature of the scope rail (combination iron sight base and scope rail) it's not quite as simple as just going to a 0 moa base. Trying to figure this one out as it's driving me nutty (short trip, I know)!
