I have a new Leupold scope on a rifle in med seeking rings and a 20moa base. Today when sighting in I have bottomed out my downward travel and am still hitting 5moa high. I haven’t had this problem before with different rings and scope on same setup and really not sure why it’s happening. Is there any easy ways to correct it? Or just hold using milling reticle at 100 and have plenty of elevation travel for longer shots?

The scope base is mounted in the right position, higher end at the rear of gun. Like I said weird thing is I’ve never had this problem with the other scope and rings I ran on it. Base hasn’t come off it is still loctited in place. Even if sighting in at 200 that’d still leave me high 3” or so.

If I am reading this correctly, you changed scopes. The most likely cause is that the other scope had more internal adjustment. Changing rings could also do it. I've seen instances where a packaged set of rings were slightly different height. Doesn't take much. I have a rifle set up with a 20 moa base, and the original scope that was on it before installing the 20moa wouldn't zero at 100 meters.

He’s not. It’s an equipment issue. Which Leupold do you have? I’ll find out how much travel you should have. I can’t think of any that should be bottoming out with a 20 MOA base and zero MOA rings.
Thanks everyone for the help
