I just put a new scope on my rem 270 wsm, and ran out of up adj. the scope is up all the way and im still shooting low @100 yards. I have heard that there are some bases that will fix my problem, but i dont know what brand is best or do i shim the hell out of it?
 
Something sounds wrong. You say a "new" scope. Does that mean you had another one which you could get a 100 yard zero & was more or less centered & w the thimbles? Or is this the first scope.

You can shim bases, but there are limits, and you can stress the scope. Easiest would be to get the Burris rings that have inserts. These will give you a lot more adjustment, and not stress the scope. But since something sounds wrong, even the 20 MOA available might not be enough.

Best would be to have a gunsmith take a look & fix the problem. I know it cost money, but if you plan to keep the rifle, it is always best in the long run to have things as they should be.

Good luck
 
A bit more information might help.

Were you scoped before?

Did you you an all new setup - scope, mounts bases?

In other words, you should be considering what has changed, and if everything is brand new, I would be making sure that the correct scope base has been fitted.

Burris rings

get the burris rings with the nylon inserts - that will solve your issue

They are called "pos - align" or "signature"

The rings come with inserts that have some offset built into them. Rotate the inserts to get the offset you need.

They work great and won't mar your scope
