    Shimming scope...

    I fitted a Nikko Panamax scope to a JW-15.

    At 100m it is shooting about 20cm low with scope cranked right up.

    I'm a noob at this stuff. I'm assuming that I need to shim the rear mount to provide some lift?

    My concern is that if the rear mount is higher than the front, does that not potentially put some strain on the scope tube?

    Or is there another way?
