Rifle scope elevation problem

[Warsaw Wizard]

I am posting this again because, being new, I posted it in the wrong area.

I mounted a 10-40x60 tactical scope on my heavy bbl national match M1A. I used a Mil Spec. side mount with intrical rail and low mount rings. I leveled the rifle in all directions, made sure the mount was properly aligned, level, and parrellel to the bbl and receiver. The scope is level and parrellel to the rifle and bbl. My bore sight is exactly aligned with my "iron sight' picture. I have 4 inches of windage from both sides of center at 12 feet. (The max distance of my shop.) My problem is that when I align the reticle in the scope to the bore sight I only have 2 inches of elevation left. That equates to 2 inches above the target and 6 inches below the target. Any suggestions on how to correct this problem? Or let me know if it really isn't a problem and I'm just over thinking it. If it is a problem I would like to correct it before I go the the range.

Thanks for any thoughts and help,
The Warsaw Wizard

What sort of scope are you using? That is the first and most important bit of information that is needed. What sort of bore sight are you using?

No, the first place you posted it was the right place.
