Whitester Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hello I had one on my my t3x .243 . It was in opti locks and not shimmed. I have shimmed it on other mounts so that may be necessary but I was pleased with it as it held zero and was good to nearly 200 yards with an extra ir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitester Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 It’s usually the back mount , I used three layers of electrical tape. Some will tell you that’s it’s not a good idea to shim a scope but it’s never caused me an issue with damaging scopes so I remain sceptical that it does.
