I just bought the DPMS Panther SASS and mounted an IOR Valdada 3-18x42mm. I mounted the scope with the Valdada Tactical High Aluminum rings to get a good cheek and sight picture.
Great scope by the way, but that is a whol 'nother topic......
I took it to the range to get sighted in. Once zero'd, I have only 16 MOA of elevation?! The scope has an internal range of 65 MOA. Is it"normal" to be so far off from mechanical zero on a flat top? 65 MOA/2=32.5 MOA (mechanical zero.)
Is anybody else running a IOR scope on an LR-308? Did you run into the same thing? As it stands, I really can adjust to 650 yards and then start to use holdover.
Is my only option to mount the BO riser with 20MOA cant? I am a paper puncher and want to stretch it out to 800+, but did not want to mount my optic on a riser. I figured that once mounted I could at least get 25 MOA elevation, but that is not reality.
Any advice is helpful..Pics to follow.

That scope is designed to be used with at least a 20 MOA base. Also the fact that you have it so high above your bore is going to take up your MOA as well. If I were you I would look for a 30MOA base and get some medium rings for it.
Badger makes a 22MOA base for the AR There are others available to up to 30 MOA. |

I would certainly use the MOA base and drop the ring height. Get the scope as close to the bore as is possible.
