Okay, I got the Power Custom scope base (heavy duty Weaver type with multiple cross slots) mounte on my old 10-22, a set of Burris Signature Zee rings and the Leupold compact rimfire scope all mounted up and good to go. I did verify that the reticle was centered in the scope before mountng it.
When I got to the range my bullet impact was WAY low! about 2 feet low at 50 yards. I was able to crank on the elevation turrtet an get it to zero at 50 yards. Leupold lists the "Maximum Adjustment at 100 Yards = 80 inches", so but now I am just about at the elevation limit of the scope, thus my remaining elevation is probably little or none and my windage is pretty limited.
Any ideas why my rifle/scope turned out this way? I recall the same situation with the old base/rings/scope, but just set it up for 50 yards and left it alone.
The barrel seems seated properly into the action and there is little to no stock contact with the 16" bull barrel.
I can use the offset inserts for the signature rings and regain some of my elevation travel, but just wondered if any of you have seen this issue before?
