Dead on at 25 yards. 8 inches high at 100 yards.
My scope only has like 3 clicks of downward adjustment. It tried it with my Silencerco Omega, and it dropped it two inches.Attached File Rifle: Bergara B14 HMR 6.5 Creedmoor Scope: Steiner T5xi 5-25x Ammo: Hornady American Gunner 140 gr Scope base: Nightforce 20 MOA Scope rings: Steiner T series low .885” |

| Possibly a stupid question... is it possible you have the scope mount on backwards? |

Check the manual. You may be at the zero stop. manual Here is a part of the manual. If the Desired Zero is Below the Zero Stop Location 1. Use the hex wrench supplied with the scope to loosen the set screws on the elevation adjustment knob located just under the top of the knob. 2. Turn the knob in the direction of UP as indicated on your elevation knob slightly more than the number of mils needed to achieve zero. The knob should free spin without any click engagement. 3. Retighten the set screws. Adjust the elevation down the required amount. 4. Once you have zeroed and the elevation adjustment is complete, once again loosen the two set screws and reset the knob to “0”. |

The zero stop theory seems like a good answer it you have a zero stop. Have you checked this??? If not, this is the first place to look. I assume you aren't using a canted 1 piece mount - right?

If you have a 0 moa base, you might try that to see if it'll improve your situation. I tried messing with the zero stop. I don’t think it can go down anymore. The manual says it only has .3mils of downward movement lol. Attached File |

That is .3 under zero is where the stop hits. My Razor has .5 mils below the zero mark. That does not mean there is no more elevation below. You have a lot of elevation in the scope and will be able to zero at 100 with the set up you have but you need to learn how to work your scope. |

OP watch this video, stop its at exactly 1:55 into it..see the set screws in the turret knob? that will be how you set your sera stop..so right now you have no more "down" adjustments..set the. scopes turret to "zero" on the turret, loosen those set screws on the turret, then either the turret lifts straight off or it will turn freely in place, if it lifts off turn it 1 full turn and drop it back on and snug up the screws.. if it turns freely then turn it. in the "up" direction once full turn and retighten the screws..now the internals should be able to be brought down further then they could before..once you have the scope zeroed on target do the same thing again except align the "zero" mark on the knob with the zero line on the housing without moving thee actual turret adjustment..snug up your set screws and recheck every 5-10 rounds until you are sure its tight and not going to work loose...
