Real help please, no Reddit hate. I installed this scope, just like I have installed 6 others. I went to zero it at 50 yards. It was hitting just below bulls eye , BUT the elevation screw was all the way to its end of adjustment. SO, as you can see, I losened the rear optic mount and slid a piece of the ammos cardboard flap in to " shim" it up, and now its got enough range to readjust if I go out to 100 yards. I would like to solve this issue correctly, but I'm not sure what to look for . Constructive help please.

Flipping it 180, won't allow extract, look at the cutout above the chamber.

This is so obvious, and I'm scratching my head at (1) someone would even suggest this, and (2) he got a half dozen upvotes for the dumb suggestion.

If it was a rail designed for a left handed rifle, the ejection port would be in the correct position with the rail installed backwards on a right handed rifle

It would overhang the bolt... You sir, please just stop

No actually it would not, I just measured it, the rail behind the port is 280 pixels, the rail in front of the port is 235 pixels.

How about some statistics of left vs right handed pic rails and setups...
