Am I back to zero? or 12 moa past zero? That was the concern.

You're the second guy who didn't get it. Another member explained it for the first guy, I appreciated it. Obviously I could have written it more clearly.

Thanks
I totally got it (and addressed just that in my post)... I will admit however, that I overlooked the post that you acknowledged stacking the shims alternating the opening... I'm no physicist, but that seemed the most likely cause for your problem (not a whole lot of things it could be - since you confirmed that the turret cap was tight and not slipping).

I've done a boatload of research on this scope (4-16x50 and 6-24x50) and haven't seen this problem repeated by anyone... apparently its an anomaly - that I'm sure Vortex would address... and yes, I saw that you don't want to go that rout.

Looks like the custom cut shim did the job - so it had to have something to do with the way the shims stacked... unless of course you still have the issue after tested with recoil.
