To make matters worse, my scope's spec say 36 moa of vertical adjustment. Not sure if this is 36 total or 36 in each direction. Either way, not much. -Y
Thanks everybody for their comments! I mounted a drooper riser block with Weaver rings. A la Nced's set-up.What I found interesting is that this rifle has a threaded adaptor on the end. With just the adaptor, it was shooting 2 inches low at 27 yards. With my Hugget attached it shot 2 inches high at 27 yards. Go figure.... Anyway-time to concentrate on the one gun that does shoot dead nuts! Guess I will go to matches without a backup gun...-Yogi

Yep, good call! Years ago I bought a RWS drooper mount and fitted it to my Beeman R9 which didn't have any noticeable droop and needed to bend the barrel down to lower the poi 4" in only 18 yards. After bending the barrel so the poi was about 1/8" low at 18 yards with my optically centered scope the barrel bend wasn't even visible!I didn't like that RWS mount so it was removed and the barrel was re-bent to achieve the original poi with no problems. Here is my home made "barrel tweaker" disclaimer: I'm sure you've seen this in multiple posts but this if for those who haven't...........The RWS Lock Down Mount with .025" Elevation Compensation for Barrel Droop.........Barrel tweaker made from construction 2x4s and various hardware.........
