    Running out of elevation adjustment - advice

    HI

    I have acquired a Franchi Horizon 300WM that's had some trouble getting a zero.

    Has 2 piece rem700 bases on it with some unknown rings and a Burris signature 5-25x50 scope, have tried sighting it in and am always running out of elevation up adjustment at about 50 yards. It's usually 6inches low before it can't be elevated anymore. I have turned the scope dials each way counting clicks etc to get back to the center, also tried another old scope and shimmed the back base with the same issue happening.

    I might be missing something simple but does anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking it might need some different bases

    Thanks in advance
