I am hoping someone might have some insight as to what is going on here. I purchased one of the EuroOptic Premier Light Tactical 3-15 MOA scopes and wanted to give it some range time this morning so I mounted it on a POF P415 and headed to the range. I have almost no trigger time on the POF, the only rounds I have put through it were on an SWFA 20x I mounted just to check function and accuracy when I bought it last month. I had a hell of a time trying to zero the SWFA because I kept running out of elevation without coming close to zeroing. When I unmounted the scope I noticed I had been drunk when I mounted it and the rings were sitting on one of the set screws on the POF rail. I fixed that and then boresighted/zeroed at 100 without too much issue. Fast forward to this morning. I have the Premier mounted on the POF in Seekins rings and when I try to boresight at 50 I run out of elevation before getting sighted. This is after dialing two full revolutions on the optic. Just to make sure my boresighting skills aren't total crap I fire a few rounds at 50 and sure enough my POI is about 6" low. I can't bring it up since I am out of elevation. I triple check the rings, the lug on the rings, take everything apart, remount it, move the rings forward and back a few rail slots and I still can't boresight or zero without running out of elevation. I took the optic home, put it on my SSG 3000 and boresight using about 1 revolution (20 moa) on the optic.
Any idea what could be causing this? When I purchased the rifle I noticed the modular rail segments didn't fit flush with the monolithic top rail. I contacted POF and they sent me replacement rail sections which fit just as bad as the originals. I figured I wasn't going to run them anyway, so it didn't matter much. Could the rail on the POF be so far out of spec it is impossible to zero this optic? Am I doing something stupid (wouln't be the first time) with this optic - it is the first high-end scope I have ever owned. Any help would be appreciated!
