Before zeroing red dot move elevation and windage screws up/down and right/left. Then you will be good to go.

I had already moved it up and down yesterday,I have ran out of adjustment,It will not adjust any higher it hits 3-3.5" low maxed out,at 20 yards or 40 yards.I see you can get shims,I may just take it off and see if It will shoot on my tc 20 gauge single shot and use something else on this or nothing at all.I am not overly impressed with it for the money I spent.I have spent 100 and less and been happier with a red dot and reflex sight.i think it is as overrated as the claw sling but I will make it work on one of my guns.I appreciate the help.

Its common with this sight from what I read,I knew that before I bought it. I found and used a little silver broadhead ring under the front screw.I am going back in the morning.I am hoping that I will have enough adjustment now and It does not look as ghetto as I
thought.It
will do until I get the "real" shim here.
I will probably have to adjust it down now,which is fine with me.If I wanted to Kentucky windage a gun,I wouldn't use a 430 dollar red dot to do it.I sent vortex an email seeing if they have any shims in stock,I used to do business with the Canadian guy a lot.

Mine is mounted to the rib and maybe that's why I did not have those issues. I'm surprised the red dot cost that much.

It will not work on that gun with or without a shim as I just went up and tested it again,I am not impressed with that pos sight to be honest.First and last foray into Vortex optics and overpriced electronic devices,on the other hand the bead shoots poa and I will just use the bead to hunt,like I should have in the first place.I think the sight is faulty from vortex.I am sending it back to where I bought it for a refund.

It took me 2 years to work up the nerve to spend that much money on a red dot and low and behold I get a faulty one.I know they look after their customers but I just don't trust them now to use.I have sent the place where i bought it and vortex an email,so we will go from there.

I lost my cover the first day, my fault. I called and told them I wanted to buy a new one. They ask for my address and took no money. 3 days later I received new cover, t shirt, stickers, lens cleaning cloth.

So i just took it off and mounted it on my win lb sxp 20 and it definitely looks like it would be fine as the red dot is way lower on it than the bps.I find it odd as I've never had this issue with a gun and a sight before,I may check this tomorrow to see if it shoots on the sxp. Would it be the mount,drill and tap and gun?

Mount may be to high. Generally the mini red dots are mounted very close to the receiver/rib.

I could not get it anywhere near that low on the bps 20 with the marlin 336 base.
