when you cannot zero the firearm with the adjustments in the scope it sometimes needs to be shimmed. I have used aluminum from soda cans in the past. you place the shim under the rear site base to raise the site plane and under the front site base to lower it. always use locktite on your mount screws.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
