[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2759150, member: 11853"] I ran into an issue a couple of times myself.I ran out of elevation adjustment on a rifle trying to sight it in.I bought the next highest rings and was able to get the rifle sighted in.The next time I ran into an issue was I ran out of windage adjustment on a Ruger 1.I need to go 6" to the left and the scope ran out of adjustment and the rings had no adjustment either,the receiver is grooved for the rings so what do you do next.The scope was previously on a Remington 700 and it was working perfectly on that rifle.A knowledgeable fellow was there and he told me to reset the scope back to factory zero and told me how to do it.So from where the scope adjustment had stopped,I counted the number of clicks until it ran out of adjustment the other direction,then counted the number of clicks it took to go half way,which put the scope in the center of travel direction either way.I repeated that same step for the elevation adjustment as well.After all that movement of the turrets,I was quite surprised that I was only off 3" from the target bullseye the next shot and quite easy adjusted the scope to hit the bullseye.It's easier and quicker to do this with a mirror over the objective.You will see two sets of reticles.Simply turn the turrets until you see only one set.
