Help with scope mount problem

[Y85]

I have a Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 mounted on a Burris P.E.P.R. QD mount. I went to sight in yesterday and I cannot get the elevation down far enough w.o running out of clicks. I am still 4" high at 50 yds. I have a red dot sight angle mounted off the rail on the same rifle which is dead-on at 50 yds. I went thru the Trijicon owner's manual and the website with no luck (nothing about resetting the elevation turret).

I found a reference on the web to putting camera film between the scope and the front mount (as a shim) if one needed to raise a scope that was too low. I would assume that doing the same thing between the rear mount and the scope would lower the point of aim.

So, questions:
1. Does anybody know of a way to reset the elevation turret on an Accupoint?
2. Has anyone had a similar problem with the P.E.P.R. mount?
3. Does anyone have experience with the "film shim" technique with a P.E.P.R. mount? Since it is one piece, logic would dictate that it would be difficult to shim....
4. Should I just scrap it and get different mounts?
5. Or, maybe more likely, am I just an idiot and I am missing something obvious?


Thanks for the help (again).

The Burris PEPR mounts are Made in China last time I checked. They are normally a great mount for the money, but QC is extremely difficult to control over there unless you micro-manage with a whip in hand.

I personally would not take the risk, since it involves staking the rest of my time, most importantly, on a part made in a sweat shop by people who could care less that the rings are concentric and not off axis into the vertical. If the erred on the vertical plane into negative cant, that would be helpful, not positive cant.

Scrap it, and get a quality lightweight mount from the US or Europe. Return it for a refund and ask for a shipping call tag on their dime. Considering gas and your time, let alone ammunition costs, the weak link must be purged to have successful range trips. Now prepare to hear the remaining people who have had zero issues with the PEPR.
