10/22 Scope Problems

[Sam]

So I finally got the time to put on a Bushnell .22 scope on my 10/22 and take it to the range. It took about two hours as I had no clue on how to put the mount on the rifle and then mount the scope. Anyway, at the range, I find that the scope is nearly zeroed in pretty well out of the box. However the rifle was shooting about an inch lower than the cross hairs. I tried twisting the elevation knob as far right as it could go but it was already tight. I couldn't get the setup completely zeroed. Any suggestions? Also, what are the ballistics like for the .22 long rifle round? From my brief range time, it seemed as though the round didn't really drop at all out to 25 yards.
thanks,
Sam

Either get a sloped rail for the scope or check if you have barrel droop. If it's the latter you can fix that by replacing the factory barrel v-block with an adjustable one.

Try swapping the rings front to back

thanks, will do! Shooting a scoped 10/22 gives a nice breather to shooting a couple hundred rounds of 230 gr. 45acp.
