And as I was setting the scope back in the rings yesterday before going to the range, I noticed that with the top halves of the rings off, when I press on the scope body over the rear ring, the front of the scope rises off the front ring slightly. So the rings are not exactly in line, another sign that I need to get a one piece rail with a 20 moa lift if I'm going to pursue ringing steel at long distances.

Quite a learning process!

dude it is quite simple. If you have considerably more up elevation adjustment then you do down adjustment from your 100 yrd zero you have canted scope bases.
