I would appreciate any assistance the collective can offer with this situation.
I recently purchased this scope for my AR-15:
https://leapers.com/index.php?act=prod_detail&midx=2266&allids=2266&itemno=SCP3-U312AOIEW
After mounting it with the supplied rings, I attempted to zero the scope today. Key word - "attempted"
I won't bore you with my prolonged ride on the struggle bus... suffice to say the scope was shooting very low. After moving the elevation turret to its highest setting, I was still holding 5.5" above my target at 50 yards. I didn't have a problem with the size of the groups, but a 5.5" hold at 50 yards is just screwy.
Is it possible to shim the rings to compensate? I'm pretty happy with how the scope fits in relationship to my eyes. Perhaps a different set of rings? Different mount? New scope? New hobby?
Thanks in advance for your input!
