Assume you have a one piece base. If so, just put a piece of metal and raise the rear of the base. Best if you also put thinner shims under the other screws so that there is no stress on the base when you tighten it down.
Just to make sure all is well, you can bed with epoxy steel. Voila, good to go.
To find out how much you should shim, zero at 100yds. How much down do you have in your scope? Use one thou for every min of down you have . That will get you very close to the amount of shimming you need.
If you have a mildot scope and plan on shooting further more often, shim the base for a further zero. My 7RM rifle has the 100yd zero using the upper most mil dot. The center of the cross hairs will be close to 900 to 1000yds.
That way I have all the elevation adjustment to reach out further AND I can shoot at closer ranges using the mil dot as the aiming point.
Best of both worlds...I knew there had to be a good reason to get these mil dot scopes.
