[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 768060, member: 34084"] Yes, it seems like a large misalignment to me as well. You can rule out the scope by determining the reticle travel from the optical zero. Do this by removing the scope and finding the optical zero using the mirror method (use the search function). Then count the clicks as you rotate the reticle in the bullet up direction until the reticle stops moving. If that adjustment range is approximately half of the total adjustment range for that model scope, then your scope is not the problem. The problem would then be the receiver and/or barrel. Most likely the barrel is mounted crooked in the receiver (barrel pointed down). The rifle bore could also be bent. The best solution would be an adapter base to a Weaver ring system, as discussed above. [/QUOTE]
