What would be a solution o this other than returning scope? Shimming? If so, thickness and what non-compressible material and sources?
Like the ballistic X reticle and clarity at 24X.

V.,

I believe that your Kimber and the Cooper 57M bases are the same. Take a look and see if they are, if so I am pretty sure I have an extra set of Warne bases and a set of Burris Signature Zee rings I can send for you to try.

I have used the Weaver V-24's on different rifles with no issues, I suppose it could be a bent tube if it is a used scope. There is surely something strange going on.
