While I am sighting in my scope, the horizontal is dead on, but the vertical is still about 2 inches too high.

I have the Rws 34 with Leapers 3-12x44ao with medium height rings and the Leapers droop compensator.

Please help

I take it your are maxed out on adjustment?if that's the case you can shim the rear scope ring...a little piece or two cut from an aluminum can works well for shims.If you raise the back of the scope slightly this way you will lower your POI.You can then pad the setup with a little piece of rubber such as that from a bicycle inner tube etc.I had the same issue with a Ruger Air Hawk,and it works very well....

Between the scope,and bottom half of the scope ring.Just bend the shim to conform,then place the scope on top...
