Excuse my ignorance here, I am primarily a wingshooter and a bit out of my element when it comes to rifles.
My current setup is a Vortex Crossfire II (6-18) mounted on a Remington 700 VTR .223. The rail is factory, and I'm not sure the height of the scope mounts to be perfectly honest (but they look 'low'). I am using a laser bore site to paper the setup.
With this setup, I have to adjust the scope elevation turret all the way in order to lower the crosshairs down to meet the laser (at about 20 yards), and to be honest, they still don't meet.
I have removed/remounted the rings to the rail to reset the seating. Doesn't help. I've also test fired and confirmed that it shoots low.
Is it possible that I have the wrong ring height? Any other advice or things to look at? Thanks all!
