If they are and your scope clears the barrel, you're ready to go. If they're not, you will need higher rings.

This is a great method for bore-sighting a scope but there's no expectation that the reticle will be properly aimed as soon as the scope is mounted.... in other words, finding that it's not doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the way the scope is mounted.
