Just ran into a problem I have never had before.
Weaver mounts/rings but the front of the scope is rubbing.
It is a Simmons 6x18x40 and the front is adjustable for yardage.
I need "just a hair" more clearance.
Maybe 1/32 of an inch.
:? :(
Any ideas out there??

Thanks
Greg

Shim it. Check your bore sight, first. It may need shimmed, anyway. If not, shim the front and back equally. Also check to see if you need longer screws.

I have found aluminum siding to work well in cases were shimming was necessary.

Higher Rings maybe.
