Hello everyone
I hope all of doing great
I have Diana chaser rifle kit it's awesome gun accurate and lightweight but I have an issue with scopes
The thing is no matter what scope I used  same thing happened ( I don't the problem is my gun or just me 🤔) okay so I have 4x20 scope you know the light ones that also cheap as well also I have borrowed my brother scope ( hawke 3-9x40) also I bought new victo 2-6x32 scope
All three scope the same thing happened
What happened is when I shoot from 10 m I adjust the scope on bullseye and I hit the target very well like 4 pellets within (1/2 or 3/4 in) but when I move further and shoot from 20 m the pellet hit above the target about 3.5 inches !!!!! Also at this distance the pellet group is good as well ( about 1 inch 3 pellets) but as I said it goes higher And as I told you this thing happened with all 3 scopes
In my knowledge the pellet should goes lower as the distance is farther but what I am experiencing here the pellet go higher!!???

So what I missing here?

Tater:
The scope sits higher than the center bore of the muzzle, and at 10 yards you are zeroed in at the first place the your line of sight hits the path of the pellet. The pellet leaves the muzzle below your line of sight and continues upward until gravity brings it back into your line of sight again. There is a near and far zero and you are sighted in at the near zero. If you try shooting at 30 or 40 yards you should see the point of impact drop back down again.
Hopefully someone else can give you a clearer explanation then me. There are diagrams that would help too, I'll try to find one.

Edit: The bottom example shows it pretty well except the 50 yards in the pic is your 10 yards.

Thanks for your explanation
The diagram helps a lot 👍 so what you advise me? Should I put low scope mount  ? Or any suggestions

Tater:
Lower scope mounts would probably help, but if you have a chrony you can use chairgun or one of the other ballistic apps out there and use the mildots on the scope for various ranges.
