how do you shim the rear of the mount to get on target. the first iteration with the scope crosshairs declined fully rifle shoots 5ft high at 100Yrd

There should be enough play to level it out before you set the screws with lock tight. I'm guessing that the rings may be a bit high on your scope. See if you can find some lower profile rings but still keep it off the rail.

There should be no need to shim anything, you might want to invest in some better scope rings. The mount should be above and weaver rail parallel with the barrell, if you have anything but, it's either a scope ring, scope or dovetail issue.

I didn't have to shim it at all. In fact, it was darn near on target at 50 yards out of the box.

if its really that far off..the rail is mounted with 3 screws to the mount if I remember right. just go to the hardware and pick up some thin washers for shimming and put them between the rail and the mount. I don't see how it could be off that far

That's what I'm using on my CZ455 American with a Nikon Rimfire scope. Works perfect. Lapped in and leveled the scope. Tack driver. Have to play around and see what ammo it likes best. Will shoot anything I've tried but match target ammo will cut a ragged hole.

I used this scope on a flat-top receiver without a FSB. I used a mount with a 1" rise. I do have another rifle with a FSB and similar scope. Did not use a riser on it. FSB only shows up as a very small blur. Does not affect ability to hit targets.

They usually have a total of 80 clicks... 40 up and 40 down in elevation control, which are 1/2" MOA, which is 1/2" at 100yds (which is 300 feet) ... so if you are up at 25' (which is 25 feet) then you have an approximate total adjustment of 3" (3 inches... 1.5 inches up and 1.5 inches down). If you meant 25yds (75 feet,,, which would make a LOT more sense) then you are looking at approximately 10" (10 inches) of total adjustment (5 inches up and 5 inches down)... BTW- the farther you get away from the bores line of sight the more the mount will have to be made for such a position. Like in the carry handle of an AR-15 / M16... The mount meant for that location would/should have that difference built into it. Good Luck!!

It has barrel droop, cut 2 shims out of a coke can and put them in the rear scope ring to liftthe back scope up then it will match the barrel,I had to do it to mine. hope this helps.

Does the rear sight on your rifle have a pin through it so it can be flipped up and down? If so the it should but little advice. I put this on my number 4 I had to get a screw to put in the rear pin hole. Otherwise the mount moves to much.

well also bought the mechanically fixed HiViz sights they work are are helpful. depending on if you have a rail or smooth barrel would decide the type but in either case the rail mount winds up being about 18" apart when targeted with a laser bore sighting tool. Its just slaps on but sighting is another store.

Mine was fine.... I used a bubble level on top turret. I love the scope. No problems. Scope is a bit big. I even put a shade on it. Im using a warne mount. 16 fluted target barrel. im shooting quarter(coin) sized groups at 100 yards.... but no issues with retical tilt or slant. about 200 rounds in so far...Hope this helps...

Jim is completely correct. I have it on my 10/22 and I have also put it on a riser. The mount with the laser and light is useless, mine went to the trash. The laser is Way off and you wont get it to zero besides you cant see it past 25 yards. the scope works well minus the back lights, just don't use them. For the price it is a good deal.

It requires a riser. Tge rings that ship with the scope do not allow the front objective to clear the rail or barrel.

I didn't have this problem but I would suggest shimming the scope mount. Try loosening the mounts and re tightening, it might be a little skewed

I just screwed the front most screw on the bottom until flush "it was sticking out about a 1/16 of an inch" then I adjusted the elevation screw "back bottom" , then the center sight screw "side".This worked for me so far. that front screw holds the laser in place i think when i turned that screw in it moved both adjustments out of wack at the same time, but i couldent just leave it sticking out there to get snagged on somthing.

Your problem is not the scope, Air rifles have barrel droop, some are unnoticeable and some are, but don't worry it can be fixed with things you probably have lying around the house.You can use anything to create a wedge on the rear part of the scope, I personally folded a piece of aluminum foil into a square about 1/8in in thickness and put it under the rear sight and TADA!!! Problem solved I was shooting 3 inches high (before I was about 2 inches low)or.........you can blow $50-100 on droop compensation scope mounts.....whatever you want to do

My rifle didn't have iron sights, however with the medium height mounts and the 40 mm scope on a 22-250 varmint special I had less than a 1/8th inch clearance between the scope and bolt handle when the action was cycled. Had to go with the higher mount.

I mounted a Nikon p223 with offset rings mounted so they extended to the rear to bring the scope back far enough for my eye relief. Height wasn't an issue for me. The mount was long enough that I added a second 45' mount with a halligraphic dot ahead and to the right of the scope for a short range sight. Just roll the rifle counter clockwise and the scope goes away and the sight comes up. Works well.

do you have a good mount? mine works well on my ar but a shotgun hits a little harder. I don't think you'll have a problem with it.

The mount was made to fit magazine tube. My mount didn't tighten as good as I would have liked. I cut and fit a .005 brass shim. I placed the shim between the tube and the mount. The shim can't be seen and it is rock solid. This may also work on a barrel. As cheep as the mount is it may be worth a try.
