Scope Mounts and Zeroing Out of Adjustments Down

Hey, SP8.
I am having a very similar problem with my Helix 4-14x44. I just reread the manual and it seems the zero stop is the culprit. I am going to try to redo things tomorrow. My windage was fine too, but I was two inches high at 25 yards and maxed out the room to adjust. How did things work or you? Let us know. Thanks. S7

I took the zero stop out and everything works great now! I got double the amount of adjustment or more back when I removed the zero stop.
 
To whom it may concern: After listening to the comments on this thread, reading my Element Helix manual, and watching Matt Dubber’s “How to Zero your Riflescope in 3 Shots” on YouTube, I believe it is the zero stop that is the problem. I will find out and post data here, just in case anyone is interested. It may not be the scope mounts at all. S7

The M3 already has 20 MOA built into the scope rail which is why you're shooting high. You could still use adjustable scope rings by raising the front ring up to level it out or bring your POI down. You could still also use a one piece 20 MOA scope mount to level it out or a 30 MOA scope mount to bring the POI down. Just flip the one piece scope mount around. Also, like Chuck-in-Ohio mentioned, optically center your scope.
P671, I just reread this post. Whether SP8 or I end up going your way, I learned some tricks of the trade from your comments. Thanks. S7
