bigboy69 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) It seems like I ran out of height adjustment on my RTS 2? I thought I seen posts here about this issue, but couldn't find anything. I like to sight my gun 2" high at 15yds. After I remounted the sight I can only get it right on at 15yds and ran out of adjustment. Edited October 16, 2017 by bigboy69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

race1911 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) ...manufacturer of mount is critical as some do not make them with the required 1 degree of difference between front and back of the mounting platform and you will run out of hieight adjustment...my suggestion is to take the optic off and put a very thin shim which is slightly thicker at the front than the rear between the mount and optic Edited January 19, 2018 by race1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stony Lane Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Not for a RTS, but you get the idea: http://www.mountsplus.com/AR-15_Accessories/AR-15_Scope_Rings/182-UMT-SHIM.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAkZHTBRCBARIsAMbXLhG5l5YjlMNeBJxNNZ4mg0i1hfC1TFdzKi1yvEICbMP4sqU-_Fd74rsaAlBYEALw_wcB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do I find shims like that? And what thickness to even start with???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race1911 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 flat but inclined from back to front.....I didn't bother messing with mine anymore and just bought a different mount that was made right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
