Try reversing your mounts

If that does't work you'll have to start shimming one of the mounts

how do i do that bud? and there on a high mount is that ok iv put them on a air arms s400f

Reversing the mounts or Shimming?

 

Swap the mounts around, put the one at the back on the front, then see if that improves things

 

If its still shooting high at max adjustment, then put a very thin piece of something between the bottom of the scope and the rear mount, if its shooting low, then put it under the bottom of the scope and front mount (think I've got that the right way round)

 

Only takes something like a slip of tinfoil or something, a cut up slip of drinks can, piece of photographic film

will try thanks for your help atb

_{Shim under the front for shooting high and rear for low. Best to center the clicks on the scope first. Do this by going all the way on the ajuster then count total clicks to full travel. Half the number and set turret to this number. Then your scope will be at center before you shim. Shim at ten yds to within an inch of aim point. Then zero at preferred range. usually 25 yds for a .22}

 

_{Then you should get the best from the scope.}

No probs mate. just be carefull at the end clicks when counting the extremes don,t force the clicks just count the normal clicks without using force.
