    That is weird. Can you swap front and back rings over to see if that solves it? Others will be along with thoughts.

    They only have 30 MOA of elevation which is the least I have ever heard of so that might be your problem. Once mounted you will have less than 15 minutes each way (up and down). You might need to shim your mounts. Cut a coke tin into shims.

    happen to have a set of nikko 30mm zero locks that after installing with equal packers will give me enough adjustments.so think i may buy a set of them in 25mm

    Thats why they have a ballistic reticle because they are not suitable for dialing once you get them zeroed.

    I didn't suggest you were. I was commenting on the purpose of the configuration of the 'scope. Ballistic reticle coupled with minimal elevation adjustment.

    You could hammer a felling wedge in under the Barrel,jack that Barrel up a bit.
    Just use a polymer one not a steel wedge so you don't scratch the bluing.

    scopes on sideways, rotate it so there is a windage on the right hand side

    down is taking you right at the mo

    Looks correct in that regard. If you rotate it, the elevation knob will be on the left hand side, or rotating it the other way will have the windage under the scope.
