I put a $40 BSA PMRS reflex sight on a Classic Army low profile mount.  At 50 yds, It was shooting off the bottom of the target stand.  I turned the vertical adjustment in the direction of "UP" all the way until the sight's platform wouldn't go any higher but I couldn't get the bullet impact up into the bullseye (still about 10" low).   The allen head screw kept turning, but the sight wouldn't move anymore beyond a certain height.  Has anyone else had this same problem with this setup?

Please be patient with me, but I'm no where near my gun or the sight right now, so I can't check it or read the instructions.    I interpreted the UP as moving the bullet impact up.  Maybe that's not how this sight works.   I guess I don't understand how a reflex projection red dot works.   From memory, it seemed that this sight's adjustment merely allows the entire spring loaded upper platform to move up or down level as you crank that screw.  It didn't appear to project the red dot lower on the screen which would cause it to raise bullet impact as you raise the projected image up the target.   Anyway... any help would be appreciated.  It's going to be a couple of weeks before I get to look at my set up or shoot it again, and I'm hoping to have it solved via this forum before then.

I have had red dots that adjust the opposite of what the arrow says so try that. If that doesn't work, contact BSA or try another scope since you ran out of adjustment. BSA isn't one of my favorite manufactures (cheap crap)
