Adjustable scope mounts for M14?

what I am trying to do is get my scope on target as the internal adjustments are limited in the model I have 5x15x40 legend. I bore sighted the scope and it is on the paper. but shootin 6in to left and 5in low and I don't have enough adjustment to bring it to center the cross hairs to the bullet impact area.I know I need a better scope but thats what I have for now.I had lots of problems getting the mount to fit my m14 and had to do some grinding,(arms 18) so I got it close.Looking through my bore sighter it is one grid left and centered.When I try to move the cross hairs on the scope it turns out I have 11/8 turn left and 11/8 right from center.so cannot get it on the impact point
So many of the solutions cost almost as much as a scope. I've never used offset inserts in my one Burris set of rings that accepts them, so I'm not sure if you could correct for both windage and elevation. Certainly one of them, but not sure about both, as they are two halves and they get inserted in either the top half or bottom half of the rings. Anyone know if you could turn them 45 degrees to correct half of both?
The better scope mounts aren't cheap either. At least $200 and upwards from there.
I remember your previous posts about problems with the mount. I guess its not sitting flat on the raised portion on the side of the receiver? If not, I'd guess that's a recipe for trouble.
If you didn't alter the scope mount itself, maybe you can recoup the money and try another design that might fit better (by chance?).
