Youve lost me a little Doc and ive had limited experience with Vortex. But as a rule you just zero the gun at your preferred distance.
Once zeroed, loosen the turret cap by loosening the screws or however, then rotate the cap only till it lines up on zero and retighten the screws.
The shims are how Vortex has the zero stop setup if you want to use them. If not it dosent matter but you wont have the zero stop feature.
Yes the 2 lines showing below the knob indicate distance off the bottom of the adjustment range in your case. The only way to get use of it is as you mentioned,
by getting a different taper on the base.
The zero stop is not really important for those who know where zero is. Especially when zero is very close to the bottom. You can just count the remaining clicks till
it bottoms out and just scratch that information into the stock or something. lol
Remember your only ever going to get the ammount of elevation the scope adjustment gives you. The tapered base simply allows for getting more of it rather than it being wasted by being below the zero setting. Of coarse you can always use the reticle for holding over if you run out of adjustment.
