Yeah, okay, so I was @ the range and saw I needed a set of + / - .005 inserts for Burris Signature Zee rings to so I could get a 100 yard zero on a rifle w/o moving the elevation turret from center. I needed to raise the back of the scope.

I check the compartmented box where I keep all my inserts. You guessed it, + / - .010 inserts, + / - .020 inserts, lots of 0/0 inserts, but no + / - .005 inserts! :-[

Then it comes to me. Wait-a-hold-it!

Since I have seperate Weaver bases, and Burris Signature Zee rings, I can leave the 0 / 0 inserts in the back ring. All I have to do is put a piece of soft-drink can under the rear base. Soft-drink can aluminum is .004 thick. That's close enough to the .005 I need! 8)

The inserts in Burris Signature Zee rings will pivot to point the scope where I want it. :)

Note: This trick will only work with seperate bases, and only if you need to raise one end of the scope or another! Also, you need to loosen the top of the ring clamps so the scope can pivot as the base cross-screws are tightened.

Woot! Maybe, just maybe, I'm not such a dunce after all! ;D
