I have 30BR rifle with a March Fixed Power "High Master" 48x52BR scope with a 1/16" reticle and 1/8 MOA turrets which I use for 100 yard BR competition.
I'm having trouble getting the zero absolute dead on on the 1/16" diameter X-dot on the target. The closest I can get using the windage turret clicks is about 1/8" to the left and 1/8" to the right, and the closest I can get with elevation turret clicks is about 1/8" up. That's the closest I can get using turret clicks, even though they are 1/8 MOA per click. This compounds the problem of determining holds for wind reads.
Is there a way to get the zero dead center right on the X-dot, meaning the bullet hole would be dead center on the X-dot? The March scope owner's manual has no solution I can find. Also, if I tried a shim it would have to be way too thin, thinner than any shim I know of that is available.
Thinking maybe using a Redfield twist-in base and rings but don't know if this a suitable approach for BR. My understand is Redfield is no longer in business, but a friend is suggesting a trial of a set he has.
I may also email March with this question.
All thoughts and comments are welcome.
