I recently purchased the following scope from MarStar
NcSTAR - Mark III Scope

now I am the first to admit that I do not know much about these things, thus why I am reaching out to you good bros!

at the range last night to test out the new scope and zero it in.
I could not even put them on paper at 50 yards... with the elevation dial around the middle setting (around where you would expect it to be no? ) the rounds were hitting the ground about 30 yards out.
To even get the rounds on the paper I had to set the elevation as high as it would go and even then I was aiming at the head of my target (body image target) and was hitting below the middle of the target?? WTF is up??

I have a few pics included of how I mounted it. I used the Rings that were included with the scope. Are they the same? or is one bigger than the other and thus, supposed to go on the front (or back)?? or...WTF!!!

is there a special way these scopes must be installed?
 
If the two rings are different in height, I doubt that was intentional. I'd use a caliper and confirm they are both the same, that they are seated properly on the base and that the scope is seated properly in the rings and not binding or raised at the front.

I've heard some of those chinese scopes actually label up, down and left, right. Is there any chance you are moving the dial in the wrong direction? Usually down, means to move the point of impact downward.

You could possibly save some ammo,and experiment around with the bolt out of the gun and boresight it. Clamp it down good and see if the scope moves as you expect it and see if you can get the crosshairs and bore to line up somewhere between 25-100 yards. As the scope is really high above the bore, its likely you can't get the two projected lines to crossover until quite far out.
 
Could be the photo, but the scope looks either bent downwards at the rear or angled upwards toward the muzzle end. Being new we assume the scope isn't bent, but who knows if the rings are truly identical as they should be. Try swapping them around. Scopes are usually set so that their center of axis crosses the center of axis of the bore at 100m or so.

In your second photo, the locking nut on the forward ring looks like it is not properly engaging the shoulder on the ring which is meant to stop it turning.
 
I'd have thought that both rings should be the same height, but am not into tactical, they look uneven to me and also look too high to get a good cheek mold on stock!
 
Unless it is severe camera distortion it looks like they are two different rings and the front one sits higher than the rear on the rail.
The way they are mounted the front ring looks a fair bit taller which would explain the low POI.
