Trying to sight in this new gun. I have a Nikon Monarch 4 x 16 mounted on it. Started out at ten yards and it was several inches low, kept trying to bring in up but hit the upper limit on the scope and its still an inch low. Any suggestions on either the gun is the issue or possible the mounting of the scope. It seems to shoot great groups.

Search the forum under this topic. Might need to shim your scope, or not. Good to learn how to search for things here. Someone else has probably asked this before!

Look at a set of adjustable rings.
I would suggest against shimming a scope, as you put unwanted stresses on the scope tube. Though I know many will chime in and say they have been doing it for years, blah blah blah. Though it isn't much you can do some serious damage to a scope quite quickly, and for what we pay for scopes a simple set of rings will fix your issue and you don't have to risk damaging the scope.

They still hit low at 30 yards with the adjustment maxed out in the up position, I have to believe it has to do with the barrel. I dont really want to start shimming that scope that much. Unfortunately, everything functions good on the gun and it is a tack driver.

Those are only made to adjust height, not angle. I have a set and filed the serrations down so that I could use them for tilt.
The FX No-Limits scope rings will adjust tilt, but I found out about them after I had already modified the West Hunter mounts.

Had the same issue on my avenger. I tightened down the pic rail sections on my gun. One was quite loose out of the box. I bought a donny fl adapter and an aftermarket barrel band. I also shimmed my rear scope ring with 4 or so aluminum pieces cut out of a beer can. Gun has been solid after that without POI shifts or the low annoying POI. Just a caveat of these guns. I took the same scope and shimmed rings and put it on my FX streamline. Nearly bottomed the scope out in the downward direction to get it zeroed at 35 yards.
