First... re-center the reticle. Using the mirror method, or counting clicks... what ever works for you.
Next, take a really hard look at the mount and rings. It may be that, as 4V50 Gary has alluded to, you've tightened the base incorrectly, cocking it on the rail.
You should loosen all the screws, start in the middle with a light snugging... then slowly apply torque in small increments (no more than about 40 in.lbs is needed max)... again, from the center out.

Good luck,
C
