Savage shooting to high

[shouler mt]

My savage muzzleloader is shooting 4 inches high at 100 yards. The scope is maxed out low. Can I shim it and if so which end of the scope do I need to shim?

raise the front to lower it..

Like mr. Big said, you'll have to raise the front if its shooting high. Strip or 2 cut out of a coke can should do it. May want to lap ur rings cause shimming it will throw them out of wack a little. The burris signature zee rings have inserts that would let you do this with out lapping.
You can also get inserts for the signature zee rings that will let u slant the scope for the elevation u need without shimming.

Or get lower rings and mounts. I would also make sure the front mount is on it right setting in the grooves of the barrel nut and on top of the ridges assume it extends over it.

Thhanks guys. I will check the front mount and I got lots of cans.
