Tpcolins,
You are correct that you can ring (indent and possibly spoil optics alignment) scope tubes by having one ring off the axis of the other as by shimming up only the rear ring of a horizontal ring set. You really want to shim the whole base. Otherwise, use a tapered long range scope base. Another approach is to use the Burris XTR rings with pivoting ball-and-socket ring inserts that can be shimmed without stressing the scope tube because the ring insides turn with it. Barret has another solution.
I went through all your posts and corrected your tags. Here's what went wrong: You were omitting the [ that must begin the close quote tag for the quote tag pair to work.
You had:
[quote]content/quote], which produces itself:

You had:
[quote]content/quote], which produces itself:
content/quote]
It should have been:
[quote]content[/quote], Which produces:
content
You were also geting the opening bold tag inside the opening quote tag.
You had:
[quote[b]]content[/b]/quote], which produces:[quote]content/quote]
It should be:
[quote][b]content[/b][/quote], which produces:
content
The only inclusion that goes inside the quote tag brackets is =name, which credits the original poster as follows:
[quote=bigmouth]content[/quote]
Will produce:
bigmouth said:content
