Scope doctor needed.

Burris Zee Signature rings is what you need. They come with a selection of plastic inserts which will allow you to move your POI up to 10" at 100yds.
I would not trust anybody except myself to set up a scope for me.

This was all done on a range with a respected instructor. So I believe we did it all correctly.
Yes it was zeroed when I purchased it.
Having not owned a rifle before and not having experience in zeroing a rifle I took it upon myself to contract the services of a professional instructor to coach me.
This was when we first found that although zeroed it was at the top of its elevation adjustment. I used the gun in the field on a couple of occasions to good effect but was concerned about the lack of future adjustment. So booked another session with the instructor where we centred the + cross hairs and went through the zeroing process again and again we ran out of elevation only this time I noticed while adjusting elevation that the dial was on occasion skipping.
It was after that I spoke to Zeiss.
So wee are where we are and I think we followed the correct procedure.
Running out of adjusting is unlikely something you can repair. It may well be a mount issue. The thing to do would be for try the scope on another rifle or another similar scope on that rifle.

As @Smellydog says above, centring the scope will have no impact on running out of adjustment, or the position of zero relative to the adjustment. So if you ran out of adjustment the first time you were always goi g to run out the second time
 
Are you sure the mounts are not moa bias?
If they are then all you may need to do is swap ends with the rings. They may be front to back.
If they are a parallel set add shim material under the front ring to elevate the objective end of the scope, that will result in a need to bring the adjustment down.

Are you sure about that Sd?

I always put the shim under the rearmost ring (nearest the eye of the user), this has the effect of tipping the scope downward relative to the bore of the rifle, thus lifting the point of impact within the sight picture.

The OP suggests that he has run out of vertical adjustment, which I take to mean he feels he, or others ‘can’t adjust the crosshairs any higher on the target’, but I may be reading the matter incorrectly?

Indeed I have run out of vertical adjustment at the top of the scale
 
East Coast Binocular have made repairs for me before, I can recommend them. Only a 1 man outfit so the lead time can be long...
Yeah I’ve been waiting for three years, despite several emails and a phone call, for the return of an Optolyth spotting scope for which a part couldn’t be sourced although it worked. I’ve actually written it off but wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.
