Without knowing the height of the scope and velocity you cannot determine that.  Just a wild guess woud be about a half inch low.  Larry
A gun is just like a parachute, if you ever really need one, nothing else will do.

Hello Larry,
Remington shows a 130 CL at 3060 fps
With a 1.5 inch scope height that would make you
.1 low at 25
1.07 high at 50
2.61 high at 100
3.01 high at 150
on at 250

Regards,
Jerry

Which size rings did you use?    

I am in exactly your shoes.    I have put Burris medium rings on my Handi.  Can anyone offhand tell me how high they are in inches?  Really anxious to get this .270 sighted in.
