Those lasers are indoor and usually pretty short range. I would try setting it up in a gunvise or something and seeing if you can visually watch the crosshairs as you try to dross it in. Honestly I think you have a bad scope.
Defective Scope? Mount off?

Well that explains a lot. The stupid thing comes virtually no instructions and says nothing about using indoors at short ranges. Oh well. I think you are right based on all the comments here. I will set it up tonight with the boresighter at home and see what things look like when I move the elevation adjustment, but I am not hopeful. I am going to go ahead and give Cabelas a call about their lifetime guarantee on their products. I hope I can get it swapped out easily if that is what it comes to.

This. Since the mounts are factory supplied, I'd have to think it's a scope issue. Likely a cheap Chinese scope with a nice Cabela's logo on it.

Well - I think the problem has been fixed. Was a bad scope I believe. Put on a new one and got back out to the range. Still shot very low to start, but was able to get it up and on target in a few shots. I should have but did not count the elevation change it required. I know it still seemed like a lot. You can see where the impact walked up the target as I adjusted:
Seems to be where I need it now. Thanks for all the help! Merry Christmas!

Glad to see your u got things working. What was the distance on these shots? Also the 22+/- caliber holes were not lost on me. Right of center seems like a decent string too if range was 100yards.
