I was not aware of that adjustment ,,thank you for the info!

As mounted, it shoots high at 100m at it's lowest elevation adj.
Perhaps the idea of the scope was for 'extra' long range and so it's fitted for that, some extreme that I don't have access to for shooting/targeting. 100m is it for me at my range..
I had thought of raising the rear mounting leg a tiny amt by backing out the large headed 'screw' that it fits under. Then fitting a suitible height platform against the recv'r to boost the height and make the fit securely tight again.
I think the front pincer mount will allow the slight movement,,maybe not. I'll have to inspect further.
If it'd work, that'd tip the scope downward a bit and give me a better zero at the shorter ranges and place me within the elevation range the scope allows for those ranges.
