No, I assume I can get it zeroed at 50 or 100. But because I'm maxed out on upward adjustment I won't be able to dial for any longer distances.

How far are you bore sighting?

How far are you bore sighting?

Roughly 15 yards.

Just to clarify, are you saying you can't bring the reticle higher or lower from that point?

To me, it sounds like you are thinking in reverse and hitting the zero stop. If the scope has the zero stop set for a zero MOA rail, putting it on a 20MOA rail will have it pointed down. The up/down nomenclature can be confusing.

Thank you for the help. When I tried to boresight it I had to dial the scope up to max elevation. I cannot bring the reticle higher.

That is still not making sense.

Moving the reticle up the wall would be "reducing" elevation, which would clash with a zero stop.

Going to "max elevation" for shooting further distances would effectively push the reticle down the wall.

Pull the turret and see if that helps. Unless it is completely broken, that scope has plenty of adjustment to meet any zero distance.
