Scope: Leupold VX Freedom 3x9x40 350 Legend
Rings: Leupold Open Range across Slot Rings- Low
Rifle: CVA Scout TD V2 350 Legend
Ammo: Winchester 150 gr Deer Season XP
Scope mounted and boresighted at point of purchase. Shot at 50 yards, 6 inches low and a little right. Got it dialed and moved back to 100, low and a little right. Dialed in and then started shooting about 6 inches low again, consecutively. Went back to 50 and same issue. Resighted and same thing happened. Tried on 3 separate occasions with the same thing happening, Elevation seems to eventually revert to where it was after bore sight.
Called Leupold and they said that the elevation is maxed out. I'm a hunter, not a precision shooter so some of the explanation was over my head but he pinned the issue on the mounts. He recommended Burris Signature Rings as I can make adjustments at the rings, or a temporary fix of shimming the back mount with two pieces cut from an aluminum can. New to the CDS Dial, I don’t get how it can be maxed out if I can still make adjustments. Leupold said it’s maxed so adjustments won’t hold after recoil.
Thoughts on how to remedy this situation?
Window to hunt with this rifle this season is closing so I'm leaning towards just sending it in and having it resolved for next season. But should I still consider new mounts, or something else?
