    Get a canted rail and/or use Burris Signature Zee rings (with the inserts).

    Shimming is very fiddly and can introduce inconsistencies or damage the scope tube if you go overboard...

    Shimmed heaps of Parker Hale 26mm rings for 1" scope tubes, never had a problem.

    or one ring

    sometimes this is enough
