Scope mounting question
Maybe I'm just tired but I am having a hard time thinking this through and just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem.
I just mounted a Simmons ProDiamond 2X on my Mossberg 835 shotgun. When I sighted it in it was still 1 to 2 inches high with the adjustment full down.
I am looking to shim the rings a bit---but which ones should I shim? It seems as though I should shim the front up a bit to bring the crosshairs up to the impact point. But I want to make sure that I don't have the scope adjustments against the stops.
Anybody have any good advice?

drache has it right:
take a beer or coke can cut a strip the with of your rings and fold it three times ,put under the back of the scope and reajust.
that should do it.

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.
