You can use our Signature Rings with the offset inserts.  You can gain another 40 MOA using that.

What size rings are you using..if there too high it can cause a problem, get the medium or low rings and that should take care of the problem.. you can also shim the base but easier to change ring height.

I had the same problem with my nikon btr. I sent it back to nikon and when I got it back it was better but I still ran out of adjustment! I ended up shimming it. If it wasn't for the extra eye relief I'd put my older monarch back on. I like the diamond reticle w/ the fine crosshairs alot better anyway!
