Use lowest mounts as poss to reduce distance between ret and centre of bore

He's running out of 'up', not running out of 'down'.

I always thought running lower mounts and packing rear mount would give you more up

For shooting at long range, more scope height = less clicks of elevation required for a given distance... like lobbing a tennis ball over the net, you need a high line of sight to even see the POI... but then, you may be right, because more scope height requires more rear mount height in the first place... arrrrgh, my brain hurts!!

I also have a 6x24X56 Nighteater and have used it zeroed from 10 Yards to 50 without any problems with the elevation turret. I normally zero the rifle @ 30 yards and at 80 yards it just needs about 5 mil dot correction shooting JSB EXACTs 8.44 gr.

Is that at X10 Lensman as most of my rifles seem to be 5 Mil at 80y on X10 ATB Mike

hi if your scope is shooting low try putting a small piece of packing on the rear of the scope so it lies on the rear mount then lay your scope on it.i have
had this problem in the past.i have found this works every time hope this helps you grev

Yes mostly I zero at 10X or at odd times at 12X just to land the exact distance markers on the mildots.
