Sorry I spent so much time getting back.
I spent some time talking with two different Techs at Leupold.
They ran me through a series of test and determined that the scope is functioning and responding correctly. It does seem to be a mounting issue.
I have several options. These are the two I am leaning towards. I really do not want to get away from the DNZ mounting system as I like the one piece construction. It looks like the most rock solid scope mount I have ever used.
Here are the options I am leaning towards.
1. Shim the rear of the base so I can get more elevation travel.
2. Keep it the way it is. When I run it up to 3 MIn I am around 4 inches high at 10O yards. With that I should be close to dead on at 150 and just need a mild hold over at 200 yards.
I know 1. would get me where I intended to go with this scope. 2. would work for almost 95% of my hunting situations.
I think I will shoot it some more and see where I stand with it. I bought two of these scopes at the same time because they are by far everything I ever wanted in a scope and then some. I may put the other on another project I am working on. Something I can put a 20 MOA base on and get the full ran
