It should be fairly easy to tell if something is out of alignment with the rail on that setup. Sight down the rail or hold a straight edge to it to see if there is a bend or kink in it where the handguard attaches to the receiver. If the rail is one continuous straight line then measure the distance from the barrel to the handguard where the barrel exits the handguard. The barrel should exit dead center. With a rail that long if something is cockeyed it should stand out if it's not true to the bore.

When you're max to the left, loosen the cap screw, lift it up a bit and turn it to the right all the way making sure the bottom part doesn't turn.
Then try zeroing again without paying attention to what you're seeing on the turret itself.
Once you're satisfy with you zero, loosen the top screw again, then turn the cap to line the 0 mark with the bottom part.
Push it down and tighten the screw gently.
That should solve the issue.
If that's not an option or doesn't work, check the followings:
- You may have defective scope.
- Your un-intentional compensation when pulling the trigger or bad flinching habit.
If none of the above works, find another hobby

Does the monarch 3 have some sort of zero stop set up? If not, a maxed out elevation/windage adjustment is just that, maxed out. 'Fooling' the turret by making it say 'zero' won't gain a thing...When you're max to the left, loosen the cap screw, lift it up a bit and turn it to the right all the way making sure the bottom part doesn't turn.

The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..

That will do nothing. Optics are built with a maximum internal adjustment, changing the elevation dial to zero wont change your total erector tube travel. Unless I'm mistaken, the M-308 only has a zero reset feature, not a zero stop.When you're max to the left, loosen the cap screw, lift it up a bit and turn it to the right all the way making sure the bottom part doesn't turn.

Troy makes quality stuff and I have a hard time believing the picatinny rail on the upper is to blame, but weirder things has happened...
I wouldn't bother messing around with anything else until you can verify erector tube movement within the scope. Get a bore sighter, or use a grid target and a fixture to hold you rifle down securely and watch for movement. That alone will tell you whether the problem lies within the scopes traveling assembly, or in the mounting hardware. My money is on the mounting hardware.
I had a Remington 700 I could not bore sight, I could not bring the reticle over far enough. It had weaver bases, Leupold PRW rings and was holding on a Leupold VX-3. Bought brand new (but exactly the same) weaver bases and that solved that.

Did you torque your scope rings or just tighten them up? Recently had a buddy with a similar problem and he had his scope rings way too tight not allowing anything to move inside.
