Trail XL scope out of down adjustment

I was 105 clicks down before shimming. After adding one shim I still went 140 down. Granted, I did optically center and I shot from a little further away. But that one shim didn't have hardly any effect. A second one isn't going to make a significant difference. Yes, I 'll probably still try it but getting weary of battling this gun.

You can add a second piece of film negative without worrying to much... and even though you don't think one more piece will make any difference believe me it will.  If the second shim still doesn't do you can try adding a 3rd, but if you do now you have to be really careful when you tighten down the clamp screws.  I used 3 pieces of film negative on one of my rifles and it came out fine..... but I was VERY careful when I tightened down the screws.....

the trick with bending the barrel...DON'T
tell the pellets it going around a corner..

WHen it comes to shimming the scope Ive used everything from electrical tape to beer can strips. Pyramid air used thin clear plastic on my 350.   Beer can strips are hard to get and are sharp as all get out so be careful! I was shooting at the swamp and thats what was available. 1 beer can shim moved poi down 3/4 mil dot at 15 yards on my 4x40/Big Cat combo. think that was about an inch. I shimmed the front of the scope to bring it down. Easy way to explain is if you put a laser through the center of your scope and one in the bore then shimmed your scope on the front ring the POI of the lasers would get farther apart scope would get higher, thus bringing your shots down. This is at point blank range of course for the whole laser pointing part.
