[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 2262752, member: 10284"] Many times when the bases and rings point uphill, for whatever reason, either the top of the action isn't right or the rings or bases have a defect, and you have to dial a ton of up elevation, near the upper limits of the scope, the erector spring doesn't have enough tension to hold zero. Check it by holding a mirror against the front of the scope either in very bright light, or by having someone shine a bright flashlight on the mirror and look through the scope. You'll see 2 sets of crosshairs. If your horizontal crosshair is at the bottom of the scope, then you're almost out of up adjustment. If that is what you see, I'll explain the fix. If that's the case, don't move anything until I tell you how to correct it. Believe it or not, I'm working on a Stevens 200 in 308 right now that had that exact problem. [/QUOTE]
