Problem Zeroing my Scope

[rodriguezf]

 
Hi guys, I need help with my leapers 3-12x44 scope and my marauder rifle. Thing is that when I tried to zero the scope at 10 yds (for step 1) the POI was 7 -8 mil-dots lower, so when I tried to zero I max out the turret. The way I see it my scope is aiming to high so I need a slighlty down angle base or rings. Can you provide a solution here? PS: the scope is mounted on medium profile UTG dovetail rings.

Can I put some tape on the base of the back ring to create a down angle or something? I'm open to every idea out there.

thanks

You can either get a set of adjustable scope rings (probably around $80) or use tape or aluminum foil. If you take the later approach, be sure to keep the layers of material consistent and be sure to not have more material on the left side of the scope than the right (skewing the scope sideways)

Or buy a dropper base like they make or break. barrel rifles . Or try the FX adjustable mounts . Tom swears by them.

Thanks guys, I will try 3M friction tape (just a couple of layers) on the base and if that doesn't do the trick I will go with the FX no limits, they look great, atrociously expensive but like a great solution to my problem. I have a dropper base but interfere with the mag on the marauder, and I can´t find a 2 pieces dropper anywhere...

When I have a rifle doing that. I first swap the rings to make sure they are not doing it.(doesn't help most of the time). And in the past I have cut a spacer out of aluminum drink can and used it. And RWS makes a mount that they tell you to use on their break barrels that I have used. And at times I use the old style electrical cloth tape inside scope mounts.

you have to make sure on a one piece mount that your scope is long enough to fit.

I noticed you posted before I hit post on this. Burris Z rings will do it. they have different degree inserts. and many rimfire guys use them.

Swapping rings sounds good. If they are not same exact height that could fix the problem or at least help a little and if they are the same exact height it won't make it worst. That dropper looks great but sadly it will interfere with the magazine in the synrod...

DNT06 drooper rail works best for me. Don't know about the fit on Marauder though.
