I just got back from the woods where I set up a target at 100 yds. I have a rem .280 and a Leapers scope with 50mm front lens. I was able to center the shots from left to right; but I hit my limit trying to get the shot to climb any higher. The screw for "UP" ran out of clicks- so I am still about 12" low. What can I do about this?

Please help.

Put shims cut from aluminum pop cans under the rear scope mount until the problem is corrected. Re-center the adjustment range of the scope before shimming so that when you've finished, there will still be a fair amount of up or down elevation ajdustment left for other purposes.

It doesn't take much shimming to make a BIG difference in adjustment.

listen to kdub he gave me the same advise acouple months back and worked.

While you can shim them, might want to investigate why this is necessary, could have a problem with the base, wrong mounts, etc......

If you do end up needing to shim it, here's a guide that might be useful to you...
