So a few days ago I received my Brocock/Brk Commander XR in 22 caliber, not to be confused with the Commander XR Magnum that I already had, and I mounted a West Hunter 6–24 x 50 scope on it and attempted to sighte it in. However I could not get enough elevation before my elevation on the scope ran out. Can someone suggest a pic rail attachment that will give me the MOA correction necessary?

How do most of you Brocock/Brk XR owners have scope vertical adjustment issues and use a 20 MOA or bigger mount for scopes. My NV scopes don't have tghat issue because they have much more vertical adjustment capability.

An Amazon search for adjustable scope rings will get you what you're looking for. I like Monstrum brand scope rings. They are "middle ground" in terms of quality and quite inexpensive. Many of the scope manufacturers have scope ring / mounts that will specifically give you a 20 MOA elevation. I buy Arken scopes and I know they have one listed on their web site.
As a temporary fix, you can make a shim for the rear scope ring out of a soda can. I don't recommend this as a long term solution but it will give you the elevation you need to get shooting until you finally get what you need.
Congrats on your new purchase. That is an awesome gun. I know I'd be frustrated if I couldn't shoot it happily.
Good luck!

Thank you. So just to confirm the 20 MOA and or the shim would tilt the rear of the scope down?

Not Rizz01, but...

You need to tilt the rear of the scope up to compensate for drop.

The obvious==>If using a shim inside the scope ring, you need to be very careful when you torque the rings down or you will damage your scope.

I use Burris 'Signature' rings. They have a plastic insert that will not put 'ring' marks on your scope, and you can buy an offset kit for them that has plastic inserts of different MOA to compensate for drop.

Thank you for your help. I did order a set of Western Hunter adjustable rings, just in case, but the problem solved itself when I changed to a different scope. I’ll keep the information that you provided filed away in my brain in case this happens again . in all my years of shooting, since I was 15 years old, and I’m 76 now I’ve never had an issue where the scope wouldn’t adjust and was so limited in its vertical adjustment. Do u agree that most PCP manufacturers give you a 20 MOA mount?

"Do u agree that most PCP manufacturers give you a 20 MOA mount?"

I see 20 MOA mounts on several PCP's, Are they on most - I don't know.

For my needs (pesting), I don't feel it is necessary. I sight in at 50 yards, any shooting longer than that I hold over using vertical reticle hash marks. Some use the vertical adjustment to dial for the distance, this doesn't work for me as the squirrels seldom give me time to dial. If you're dialing the distance, then a 20 MOA mount would be useful.
