Today I went to the range to sight in my remington 270w for deer seanson. I had the elevation maxed out it was still 4 inches high at 25 yrds and about 7 at 100 yrds. While at the range I noticed the ring appeared alittle loose however I did not have an allen wrench with me. When I mean loose I mean there appeared to be more space on the rings than the back one. However the scope did not move or wobble while in the rings. Also the scope and rings came with the rifle. Could the ring position on the mount effect this as well?
When I got home i tightened the ring and the scope moved forward a litte. I could tell only becasue of the paint job.
A guy at the range suggested I schim the ring. My qeustion is if the tightening of the scope does not work. Should I schim the rear ring to lower the front half.
Picture of the scope rings to show the movement that came from tightening the ring.

On the gun it was a used remington I picked up for 150 a few years ago. I never really shot it until this year.
