I know this is probably an easy question, but I can't quite seem to wrap my head around the issue to make the corrections I need. I've only ever had to shim one other scope and I had the same issue and I can't remember what I did to fix it.
Situation: I put a 50mm objective scope on a CZ 455 Varmint rifle. I used Leupold high rings, but the bell of the scope hit the top of the barrel before settling into the bottom of the ring. I added two pieces of shim to the bottom of the FRONT ring just to give the bell the additional height it needed to keep from hitting the top of the barrel.
I went to sight the gun in and it was shooting terribly LOW. I have used up all of my elevation adjustment on the scope and I'm still about 2.5" LOW. What do I need to do in order to get some more adjustment out of my scope?
