Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster. Love your site...and now I need your help.
I recently purchased a Christensen Summit TI in 6.5 PRC. For those not familiar, it comes with an integrated Picatinny rail (zero MOA, which is DUMB). My goal is to keep the weight down--and decided to trade extreme long range for weight and ordered a Swarovski Z5 5-25. I also ordered a custom turret, which I have used from Swar with great success in the past. Center of MOA should be 24, as I have 48 of total travel. During the break-in process, I was cutting holes at 100 yards. Same at 200. What i didn't realize was that I was using up all of my elevation. I 'run out of clicks' at 400 yards, though I want to get to 600 (top end of my turret).
Because the rail is integrated into the barrel, I ordered Burris XTR signature rings. While I know they have received mostly positive reviews, I do not like the quality. Applying the recommended torque, I can still see 1/8 gap between the rings where they screw together. Talked to Swar, and they said DO NOT go over their torque recommendation of 18 lbs.
I have dismounted and remounted the scope several times, but when I zero at 100, same problem...I run out of clicks. I'm stumped. Help a new guy out?
