I would boresight the rifle on an object at your zeroing range of 50 yards (please......... forget this metric stuff with imperially calibrated kit..... Metres is something you stick coins into!). Mind you, 50 yards is not a well known zeroing option to my mind. Anyway, bure sight, hold riflke tight and THEN adjust scope for deflection in the usual way via the front prism while looking through the telescope and SEE the prism bending the rays of light that forms the image as you do. When it's exactly there for horizontal you can fairly accurately adjust for range.

Next time you're on the range, all you have to do is to adjust for the correct range, on the range drum.
Thanks Peter,

The problem is I can't lower the elevation enough. I am as low as the drum goes and I am still high. Do I need to loosen the screws on the top so that I can rotate the ring to allow me to wind the scope down some more? I am sure it is not a simple as that....

Don't want to touch it without having a good idea of what to do.
