Recently I purchased a Zeiss Conquest 4.5X - 14X 44MM on SWFA and mounted it on my Springfield M1A with a A.R.M.S #18 mount using Leupold 1" QRW Quick-Release Weaver-Style
Detachable Rings Matte High.   At 100 yards I have scope adjusted all the way and am still 4" too high from the target. Any ideas on how to fix this. Is it my rings?

try turning the rings around, so that the quick relace knob is on the opposite side. that should work.

never mind that post, unless its out of adjustment windage wise, it most likely wont work, but use shims like under rings/bases section, in chris's post. i would use printer paper, it should work fine

I wonder if I put the rings that are in the front in the back, then put the rings in the back to the front if that would fix my problem.

i seriously doubt it since most of them are exactly the same. but i wouyld cut some small peices of index paper, and put them under the scope in the rear ring.

Since this problem is related to the rings I decided to call Leupold for some tech support. What a disapointment. They did not offer any help and seemed annoyed that I called them. I will
never buy anything from again. Zeiss rules!

Sometimes switching the rings does fix the problem.  It is most likely the rings or the mount.  We have the same problem the other day with Leupold QRW rings and finally had to use different rings to solve the problem.

Switching front and rear rings might fix it.  If it does not, you have a mount problem.  The easiest way to fix that then would be to get a set of Burris Signature Zee rings with a Pos-Align insert kit.  They have several thicknesses of plastic inserts that will help you with the elevation problem.
