Fix my gun Maxed out scope, shooting low

Post image

Installed 16 inch shaw bull barrel, went to shoot it this weekend and at 25 meters it shoots about an inch low from where I am aiming with the scope maxed out. I am assuming this is barrel droop and I am wondering what is the best solution?

Option 1: The magpul stock came with a barrel shim, I can use that to prop it up, might affect accuracy since it will no longer be “free floated”

Option 2: 20 moa pic rail to point the scope downward

Option 3: I also read about a upgraded v block but not sure if I need to file the barrel

Edit: I think the reason for it shooting low is the v block is over torqued and pulling the barrel downward, I will retorque and see if that fixes the issue

If its on left to right then go shoot it at 50m and 100m and then get back to us.

Seems like you might be experiencing some height over bore issues.

Does look like that's it though right?

Yeah, that front scope mount looks like it's an 1/8th inch higher than the rear.
