Scope problems- elevation??

[muh-muh-muh-mauser]

I just mounted a PO 6x40 on my Toz 78 and when I took it the the range I found that at 25 yards the rounds were passing right over the target. I cranked down the elevation until all I could see was the tip of the top chevron and even then, the rounds were hitting the top 1-2 inches of the paper. I can't figure this out, is it because I have the scope mounted too high on the gun? I presently have high see through mounts so that I can use the irons but I will get rid of them if anyone thinks thats the problem.

Thanks

Chuck the see-thru mounts to start.

Loosen the two screws on the top of the elevation drum and turn the knob some more!!! The elevation dial has a stop on it so you can come to the bottom quickly. Loosen those screws and the dial will move more.

Good advice.
