    Since you tested the scope on two other rifles with two other rings it sounds like a bent scope tube which you can test like MD said.

    Another way to test at home is to roll the scope along a desk. Get down to eye level and roll the scope along the flat top and if it's bent it will show as a slight rise and fall. If your adjustment turrents are too long, then place two pieces of "two-by-four" on the flat surface so when you roll the scope the turrents pass through the space in the middle.
