I have an older Marlin Model 25M .22 mag. Trying to scope it and it seems like rimfire rings always seem to sit either one side or the other....never top dead center. I'm afraid to put one screw right and one screw left....but it that the answer? I've tried a few different rings and I've experienced this on several bolt action rifles. If I leave it slightly left of top dead center...wondering if I should can't the crosshairs to eliminate parallex?

I thought about filing on the inside of the fixed part of the ring to maek it slide over slightly, but then I may end up ruining the rings.....not expensive but anyone have any solutions?
