Talk about cross hairs falling over. Many years ago (in fact I was 17years old,in my first year of college) I had aRemington Woodsmaster semi automatic Carbine30-06. The scope was a Herters brand. I had saved as much moneyas I could, working odd jobs, and money was tight paying for college and all. And Dad helped out and paid half and I paid the other half for my first, used rifle. When sighting it in, the cross hairs fell over. I was devistated. That explained why the person had sold the rifle. I had no money or time to replace it. Season was the next day. I hunted that year by adjusting the cross hairs to the center of the scope and let the deer get so close I could almost smell him. Shot five times at this buck and managed to bring it down. I think I hit it twice as I remember. Maybe three times. Walked out of the woods, took the scope off, and smashed it with a rock. My carbine had no sights either.

You could try shimming it quickly and see if that is a fix.I watched a gunsmith shim a base on a scope he was mounting for a person, but refuse to do it myself. In fact I bought a scope from Natchez.Com and no matter what I did, could not get the right adjustment. It was shooting a foot low at 25 yards and cranked as far as it would go. I called Bushnell and they suggested I shim the base. I sent it back, got a different scope (the same model), and the new one worked just fine when I mounted it on the same bases.

Personally, I would spend about $70.00 and get a Bushnell Dusk to Dawn scope for that rifle, get it mounted professionally if you are not able to do it yourself. And get that sighted in. I have a 1.5-4.5x32mm ona Black Diamond XR that costed me $69.00 and it has been a great scope.
