Cant adjust scope on su16F ? Shooting 24MOA too low even with max adjustment

By your last post, you do. You can't effectively zero with one round groups. Zeroing involves both the firearm(and optic) and the ammo being used. One round does not give you any sort of indicator of what the AVERAGE POI will be for said ammo, but good luck with that method.
TDC
You can't shoot into space, there isn't enough energy/velocity to propel a bullet outside our atmosphere from the surface.
As for the question at hand, does the OP have pics of the setup??
TDC
Yup, or swap the rings around, wiggle stuff. The thing about a laser boresighter is you can see what your adjustments and cola cans are doing before you shoot.
Here is the pic
PEPR mount isnt that good on the keltec as you don't really need forward positioning. I need to extend my neck too much setup like this.
(I might just position it rearward and mount it a bit forward on the picatiny, will fix the issue....)
A straight mount would be better, but oh well, it still works.

You can indeed make a shim from a cola can. Lasers can be visible from the moon, but a lot depends on background light.
For zeroing, 25 yards is a good start for getting you on paper.
FWIW, I've found that the ideal distance to zero the SU-16 in at is about 50 yards. Scopes tend to "sit high" on this rifle.
Also and to the OP, have you made sure that your scope is parallel to the barrel? Silly thing to ask, I know, but I sometimes still forget to check that on my own rifles, to this day....(thank goodness for windage-adjustable rings!)

Agree and as per my original post that got lost on page one. Your trying to zero a scope with very limit internal elevation adjustment that's sits very high off the bore at way to short a distance.
Duly noted: I just tend to sight-in at targets out 50 yards, as oppose to 50 metres, but it's all good (esp. as negligible difference, so the essence of the point remains the same) !
