Thread: Shimming scope

If they are both the same bases then measure the height with a vernier caliper and you can swap them to put the higher one at the front to lift the scope. Shimming the bases is preferable to shimming the rings. If your heritage prevents your from buying some shim stock, you can cut it out of Coke cans with a pair of scissors.
