I have a TaSol X-ring 22 rifle that has -15 MOA (down) machined into the integral rail.  My scope is a Leupold VX-2 3-9x33 mm Rimfire.  I want to zero at 50 yards.  I set the scope up using the 0.020" Burris Pos-Align Offset inserts in the front (0.020"up) and 0.000" in the rear.  I still need more elevation.  Does anyone make offset rings greater than 0.020"?  I'd like 0.030" to give me a little elevation head space.  If not, is there any other way to get more elevation?  Would shimming the insert work?

Thanks

PS I am new to optics.

After posting and then thinking about it, I inserted the 0.010" offset inserts in the rear with the thin side down. That gave me more adjustment.

Have you had a chance to zero in your rifle with this rear adjustment?
