Holy frack, does nobody look at the dates of a thread, it was over 12 years ago, I am quite confident he has long gotten it sorted out........

But mentioning that brass shim stock would work and be classy sort of bears repeating anyway.

For those wondering where to get brass shim stock - try Lee Valley.

They offer a handy assortment pack with lots of thickness'.

I just repaired a piece of luggage with wheel that needed a few square inches of 0.010 brass shim in the skate wheels from China.

Or 3d print a bushing for 10 cents...and it can even have retaining rings...

Possibly, put grease on the scope then epoxy on the rings and let it dry.

Epoxy has been used on scope rings since, well it was first available!
No release agent is needed, if the rings need to be removed all that is needed is a heat gun gently applied.

Look at the fancy boys with their epoxy, good ole duct tape gets the job done.

What would be the reason NOT to use a release coat? Wouldn't it be just like bedding the action, not requiring heat to remove?

I’ve used beer can shims or that aluminum foil tape for heating ducts, you better redneckanize!

Total adhesion to the rings and scope .
We used to do this on lightweight rifle with extreme recoil.
The idea was that the scope would not be coming out of the rings to begin with.
Benchrest rifles are generally bedded without release agent as well.

So those Zig Zag rolling papers or electrical tape (3M Super88 mind you) I used once allegedly maybe twice were substandard as I understand you.

Not that I disagree LOL
