I was helping my cousin mount a Brand new Leupold VarXIII 3.5-10 x 50 on a Rem 700 ADL in 30-06. We used Leupold base and Leupold rings. We ended up mounting it three times and I confirmed that the rings and the base we are using are the correct ones for the gun/scope set up.

The Problem: The rifle is shooting 6" high at 25 yards and there are no more clicks left in the scope to bring it down. Also it seems that when I turn the dial on the scope in the "U" direction the cross hairs come down as opposed to going up.

Any body know what is going on here.

Thanks
Tom
