10/22 scope runs out of elevation

Adjustable V-Block from RimfireTechnologies.com ? It helps with barrel droop if you're running a .920 barrel. You can buy a setscrew and drill/tap your existing VBlock or pay $25 and order this complete.

This is a common problem with the 10/22 resulting from the sloppy fit between the barrel shank and the cast aluminum receiver, commonly referred to as barrel droop. No need to spend any money, it is an easy fix. All that is required is an allen key and a small piece of shim cut from an aluminum pop can or other shimming material of equal thickness. This is used to shim the space between the barrel and the aluminum receiver bit that protrudes to receive the threaded V-block screws.
This procedure will create a snugger fit between barrel and receiver and will give you the extra feet of elevation adjustment that you are looking for.

Good answers so far - but another way I found was just to put a preassure pad (I like to use rubber as it controls vibrations a bit more) under the barrel at the end of the forend that pushes up on the barrel. THat should raiser the POI a fair ammount 
I had the same issue occur when I build up my 10/22T.
Make sure the barrel V block screws are properly tightened to the correct torque and loctite them.
To better support the barrel I built up a pressure pad with aluminized tape (used for duct sealing) at the end of the stock to support the bull barrel. Used the same method to fit the receiver to the stock.
For me the tape was less mess than bedding with JB weld or epoxy and was very easy to fine tune in tiny increments.
This returned the scope a neutral plane nearly parallel to the barrel and there's plenty of adjustment left to play with.
