Scope help

[winshooter88]

Sounds to me like a bad scope, if you are almost to end of the adjustments on the second rifle. Scopes can be bad from the factory, and it sounds like yours is. I'd send it back to Vortex, they should make it right.

How tall are your rings? If the rings are too tall you may need to use up all of the elevation adjustment together it zeroed at close range. I've had this problem when mounting scopes on ARs.

I have tried low, med and high rings.  In both leupod and warne

Maybe I will give the 20moa rail a try.

That will make it hit even higher.

The only scope I ever had to shim was on a custom 10-22, and I think it was the way that the barrel block and screws pulled the barrel down enough that it shot 2 feet low at 100 yards.  I set the scope elevation knob in the center, and 3 layers of electrical tape brought it up to where I could fine tune it with the adjustment knob.  It really doesn't take much.

I agree that if other scopes are OK, and the Vortex isn't, it must be the scope.  I would send it back with a note telling what the problem is, and they will fix it.  You must have my luck--if 1 in 1000 items are bad, I'll get the bad one...

PM inbound.  Pretty sure I can find the root cause for you.

I don't understand some of the comments on here, He said he tried other scopes and they zeroed in just fine, then the problem is with the scope , not the mounts or the rifle. Some times a scope is bad from the factory, it doesn't matter what brand, any can and do have problems once in awhile. Send the scope in with a description of the problem and get it fixed.
