not enough elevation

[schoots]

Mounted a 3x9 bushnell on my boys 243 weatherby , tried sighting in and bullet hits 4 in low at 100 yards with no more
elevation . Has this happened to anyone else ? also whats the cure ?

Turn the elevation turret t'uther way?

Scope bases correct?
What sort of Bushnell?

 

[Bugout]

Turn the elevation turret all the way down then back up again, that might fix the internal problem.

Maybe it's got a 20 MOA rail mounted the wrong direction?

Or the scope is hosed.

Are the scope bases reversed?

 

[kamlooky]

Take the scope off and run a straight edge on top the bottom rings and check
to see if the bottom of the straight edge is parallel with the barrel.
Might be the start of a good indicator.

If none of the above "fixes" work, buy a set of Burris rings that have the adjustable plastic inserts. You can add about 20 minutes of elevation with them.

If it is a one piece scope base, you can put a shim under the back end. Crude, but immediate and cheap.

 

[Dogleg]

Common issue with older Vanguards and Ultra-light weights. Slap a straight-edge across the bases and see if there isn't 30 thou worth of daylight on the back base.
