I have had the Vortex Venom on a turkey gun for years and it worked great on that gun. I recently decided to use it on a different gun and it bottoms out before it reaches the POA. I've tried 2 different bases with the same result. I've read this can be a common problem with this sight. I did reverse the elevation screw all the way out and turned it back to see if that made a difference. I made the mistake of trying to really torque it down hard but only managed to make things worse by wallowing out the screwdriver slot, so now it's really hard to adjust. I contacted Vortex about replacing the sight through their lifetime warranty, but they insist on sending me shims that fit between the sight and the base to cant the sight to gain more adjustment. Seems like a quick fix but I was really hoping they'd replace the sight. Has anyone used the sight shims to fix the bottoming out problem?
