Optic on a Versamax Competition problem

[YVK]

I mounted an Aimpoint T1 on my VM. I used a rail that comes in a box with shotgun, and Aimpoint's OEM mount. This mount is the lowest profile that I know of for the T1. Tried to zero it at 25 yards with Fiocchi reduced recoil slugs and ran out of elevation adjustment. With that little turret cranked all the way counterclockwise I am still good 5-6 inches low.

 

Naturally, that generated a few choice words at the range and several questions to ask:

 

- Has anyone ever mounted a T1 on a VM Competition with any success?

- Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

- Has anyone mounted any optic on the VM?

 

Thnx.

I tried a Vector Optics on my VMCT when I got my VMCT for the first time. No elevation issue.

 

How about the raised comb insert? Will it help?

 

P.S. I no longer use rail and optics on my VMCT as I shoot in Standard Division IPSC.

I doubt that the comb would help. Seems like I need to bring the optic lower to the receiver, or so I think.

Could the Burris fast fire mount that sandwiches between the stock and receiver help. It's mounted lower.

Aridus Industries makes a lower mount but not for your optic. https://www.aridusindustries.com/product-category/crom/
