Default Scope mounting issues...

So a gun smith i am not!!! apparently not very bright either. I put an old Simmons scope on my New Savage 114. Its a 30-06. I mounted it myself and didn't have it bore sighted.

I went to the range and tried to "just get it close" at 50 yards and what a mistake. The issue is... i lowered the scope all the way with the knobs, but it was still shooting 13 inches low. Is the best thing to do since I am novice at this... is bring it in to have it mounted and bore sighted at my gunshop, or is there anything i need to look for like reversing my rings or something... any help is appreciated!

Thanks


I may not get a shot... but at least i'm out here!!!
