My standard answer to scope ring problems is to suggest Burris Signature Zee Rings. They have different inserts that can compensate for lots of off center mounting issues. If you use any other rings, you really need to align and lap them to make sure they are really true and won't damage your scope. (Darn...more tools to buy.)
If you have a 20 MOA scope rail, it could explain why your scope is adjusted very low at 100 yards. EGW rails will say that they are 20 MOA on the bottom of the rail over the ejection port.
As far as being way to the right, Have you tried reversing (front to rear and also left to right) the scope rings? Perhaps they are not exactly centered when mounted. When you mount them on the base, make sure they are pushed forward so the crossbolt is touching the metal of the mount. That way, when you shoot they won't shift from the recoil.
Worse case would be that your scope mounting holes are off center. In that case, I would go back to the Signature Zee rings as the easiest solution.
You don't really need a level, you just need a way to hold/clamp your rifle steady and some sort of reference line (It doesn't actually have to be vertical). As long as the line runs through the centerline of your barrel and the centerline of your scope, and your reticle lines up with the reference line, you are ok. Take a look at the diagram in this thread:

I hope this helps you troubleshoot.
