Went to Honey Island range Sunday to try to sight in a new .45-70 and scope combination. Rifle is CVA Stalker with a factory supplied Durasight mount. Scope is a Cabela's lever action 3x9. Everything is brand new. I started at 25 yds just to get on paper. Windage was dead on, but impact was maybe 12" or more low. Seemed a little much, but no problem, cranked up on elevation adjustment - don't recall now, but maybe 16-20 clicks. Fired again. Impact up maybe 1/2". A little puzzled, but I didn't see anything to do but continue upping the elevation. I repeated this process 3-4 more times. By the 5th shot I was still 6" or so below my aiming point. For sh*ts and giggles I took a shot at 100yds. Missed the entire target board completely. I didn't reach the end of the scope's available elevation adjustment, but I have to believe I was getting close.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it possible that the scope or maybe the mount/rings are off somehow?
Thanks.
