Thread: Scope running out of elevation adjustment (Shooting too high)

Standard sort of calibre with no trick mounts or rails and a standard scope, shouldn’t be a problem. Is the Tikka a “lite” barrel, and is it also fluted and maybe, just maybe...bent?

It's a 1:8 twist rate 223 standard barrel. Not fluted.

Okay, can you run a sheet of paper between the barrel and the fore end uninterrupted all the way from the front to the receiver? If not, you might have excessive fore end tension pushing the barrel up, or something got stuck in there when it was last put back in the stock.

Starting to sound like rifle rather than scope if you've tried two scopes with same issue. Has the scope got zero stop turrets.?
