Hello Adam Measure from the centerline of the bore to the centerline of the scope. Most of the time it is about 1.5", depending on the height of the mount and rings. That difference between the line of sight and the path of the bullets has an effect on the longer-range trajectory that’s worth investingating. At the same time, the fit of the rifle/scope combination to your face and body affects the comfort and thus accuracy of your shooting. There is a tradeoff here.

The distance is measured from the center of the bore to the center of the scope. That distance is typically 1 1/2 inches with standard height rings. Any deviation from this "typical" distance equates to a correspondingly equal deviation at both points where the ballistic arch passes thru the line of sight. In other words, if your rifle would print a bullet point of aim/point of impact at 25 & 250 yards with a scope mounted 1 1/2 inches above the bore, raising the scope 1/4 inch would lower the impact point 1/4 inch at 25 & 250 yards.

They want centerline of bore to centerline of the scope. Get it within 1/4 inch, and you’ll be OK. Good shooting!

You could take a piece of typing paper and two pencils. Poke one pencil thrugh the paper and stick it in the bore. Look through the scope and make a mark on the paper where the crosshairs intersect. It looks out of focus because it is. Measure the distance between the center of the bore and the crosshair. Viola! A helpful hint: High mounted sights improve the point blank range of a gun. Low mounted sights work best if you intend to make adjustments (mental or mechanical) before you shoot. Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

You measure from the center line of the scope to the center line or the bore. Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

If you really want to get it close, measure: A — the diameter of the scope bell B–the diameter of the barrel C—the distance from the bottom of the barrel to top of scope bell. Scope height = C -(A/2+B/2) Warning: This is easier done while the rifle is out of the stock. 8>) Bill Van Houten (USA Ret) "No matter how hard you try, you can’t throw a potato chip very far."
