I'll start with an apology. I'm coming to you guys with incomplete knowledge and without the actual weapon in my possession to get pictures of, etc. Here we go anyway:
I bought my father a Remington 700 in 30-06 recently, and picked up a 4x12 (I think) Weaver scope from Adventure Sports in Lynnwood. I paid them to mount it, and they used Leopold rings - bore sighted it to get me on paper - and sent me on my way.
My pops loves the gun, but he says it shoots so high that he can't adjust the elevation far enough to bring it down on point. He won't let me take it back in to Adventure Sports and assures me he'll "figure it out" - but if I know him I suspect that'll mean just compensating for shooting high for the rest of the gun's life. I'd like to be able to get him nailing paper the way it should, so I ask you guys if this sounds like a common issue that there might be a fix for..
Think the scope is too much for 50 yard target shooting, and it's simply geared for 100+ ?
Think it needs to be remounted?
Thanks a lot,
