thanks guys for the ideas, first, i measured my scope height and from the center of the barrel to the center of the scope i am 1.6" , so i am pretty sure thats acceptable.

second, i did try to bore sight it, and it seems like i cant bring it in that way either.

i really dont think trying it at 100 yds will help.

i will call burris monday and see what they say, but it looks like i will be selling it on ebay...the shims just dont sound like a good idea to me. i think you have a good chance at bending the scope that way. thanks.
