Bore sighting with talley lightweight rings elevation issue?

[Elite]

I mounted a Leica amplus 6 on my savage UL with medium lightweight talley one piece rings. I went to just bore sight it by hanging a target 20 yards away and aligned the barrel by looking down the barter with the bolt removed and had to use 40 moa of elevation adjustment up? Seems like a lot and I haven’t ran it into this issue yet. I still have to go to the range tho and see

Where in its range of adjustment was the scope when you started?

The lowest it could go. Zero stop was backed off

that's probably correct then, since your zero with a 0 MOA mount will be at optical center, not bottom of range. Which model is it?

All the tally rings I have used are really close except for height when just bolting a scope up. Were always low without any adjustment. So I expect if anything you might be a little high by adding 40 moa.

So, the 3-18x44 has ~86 MOA of elevation, the 2.5-15x50 has ~56 MOA, and the 2.5-15x56 has ~68

Optical center on these scopes will be 43, 28, and 34 MOA, respectively.

If you have the 2.5-15x50, I'd say you have a slight alignment issue, which has nothing to do with ring height.

I do have the 3-18

Yup, from end of range, 40 MOA is where you want to be

What else could possibly make the elevation adjustment max out for the initial sight in? Just out of curiosity

Had it happen many times, you are going to need to add some MOA. Get a pic with 20 or 30 MOA and different rings.

What do you mean? With a 0 MOA base, you should never be maxed unless you have an alignment issue. Your scope has 86 MOA, so you're not maxed, you're about at optical center, which for you is 43 MOA from end of range. (You took the scope to the dead stop for impact down, and then dialed up ~40 MOA, meaning that you should now have ~40 more that you can dial.

For that particular scope, you'd only want to start at 0/86 MOA if you had a 40 MOA base on your mount.
