Ruger percision rifle

That gun has a 30 moa rail on it.

A new, optically centered, scope is going to start somewhere around 30" high at 100 yards.

That scope lists 110 moa of vertical adjustment. It should easily have enough adjustment for a 100 yard zero with a 30 moa rail. Is the elevation bottomed out?

What have you tried so far?

Does your "single high mount scope rings" also have a 20 MOA adjustment? If so, you may have 50 MOA which would cause it to shoot very high, unless you want to zero it around the 1 mile mark.

I’ve been messing with adjustments on scope at 100 yd and it’s still shooting pretty high. Sorry still new at this long range stuff. The ring I have are the leupold mark 4 34mm high rings.

You should be good to go with those rings. No more MOA with those rings.

One thing to keep in mind is to try to keep the scope's bell as close to the barrel as possible, without touching.

Also, did you torque the bases to specs and then the rings to spec? Also, check out Youtube videos on tuning your Wheeler Fat wrench - sometimes they're off.

Watch plenty of videos on how to properly mount a scope. You may pick something up that you didn't consider.

Your setup should work.

Thanks for the reply’s. And info. I’m gonna have to figure a good starting point to get this thing to shoot right.

This is internet fashion and has nothing to do with setting a gun up properly. It probably started with guns that have a lot of drop at the recoil pad and not much of a cheek piece. Even those guns would likely be easier to shoot with higher rings and some sort of comb riser.

The core rifle fundamentals are skeletal support, muscular relaxation, and natural point of aim. Setting up the scope so you have to look over the top of your shooting glasses doesn't do anything to support those fundamentals.

The RPR has a straight line stock like an AR. The only effective drop at the recoil pad it gets comes from raising the sight centerline. It also has an adjustable cheek piece that makes using the proper ring height easy. The massive handguard prevents getting the scope bell anywhere near the barrel.

The RPR should use AR height rings. The OP started in the right place there.

The answer is likely keep turning the turret.

Maybe start closer, like 25 yards, and give bore sighting a try. Pull the bolt, fold the stock over, and sight in the rifle using the bore as a peep sight. Then adjust the scope.

I didn't see a zero stop listed in that scope's specs, but on scopes that have them, the factory setting can prevent zeroing with canted rails.

If the scope has 110moa of elevation, that's 55moa in each direction.
If the turret is bottomed out, it's probably the zero stop and not the erector travel that's stopping it.
Adding a 20moa mount to a 50 moa base would be troublesome too as most guns need 5moa to get a 100yd zero.
