Hi All.
I have just mounted a Nikon Omega scope on my Encore rifle. The Encore rifle is a 21" barrel in S&W 500 cal.
I used a DNZ medium high mount. If I use a low mount the scope looks like it might hit the barrel.
My first shot at 20 yards with cross hairs on center of red dot on target, hit about 8" low but dead center of target.
I put my cross hairs back on center of red dot and brought the cross hairs down to where the first shot hit.
Took my second shot and the bullet still hit low, now it's 3" below the red dot and still in the center.
My problem is that there is no adjustment to make on the scope.
WHAT AM I DOING WORNG!!!!!!
Thanks

My first thought, and this may not make any difference, is that you have a muzzleloader scope mounted on a rifle barrel in a pistol caliber. Since it wasn't designed for it, or any higher velocity, smokeless powder, centerfire ammo, that might be the issue. But I would also think it would be shooting high in that situation, not low... So I may be totally off base.
All the best,
Glenn
If at first you don't succeed... buy newer / better equipment!
