scope sighting is off

[sat20387]

OK guys here's one I can't figure out. My scope is shooting at about 7 o'clock 3 inches from bull ( at 20 yards) and my elevation is all the way up. How can I get back to a normal adjustment. I had this rifle dead zero before. I moved the adjustments about 40 clicks and have no more room to go up. It hasn't been banged or anything. I really don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you all. I ended up removing the scope and mounts like suggested. I realized that the mounts were adjustable elevation mounts and recentered the scope adjusted the front mount up one notch, It took a while but I did it. I was ready to throw the whole scope and mounts out the f^&*ing window but with a lot of patience I got it done. I sorry I did not give enough information But all your suggestions helped.

Thank you Thank you Thank you.

I was just wondering how you were doing,
sounds like you are doing very well,,,

I have checked my scope with the mirror method and my crosshair image is about a third of the way from center to the outside rim. Is it beneficial to center the scope, use adjustable scope mount (or shims) to get the POI as close as possible, then fine tune with the turrets? Would that help my scope with visual clarity, etc?
