On a halfway decent rifle, especially one with more recoil than a .223, I would not trust such an makeshift adjustment by shims and spacers. I would take some careful l measurements and invest into an EAW Rear foot sub-base of the proper height. The front ring is adjustable for the altered angle by loosening of the two clamping screws between ring and sub-base.
Hello kuduae, The information is very useful. Thank you.

Well,
I found another ring assembly on eBay and bought it. This had a wider ring, but lower by 0.025" and it worked just fine. I didn't adjust windage on this target because the group was so nice. I adjusted the scope to the left to center the group before putting away the rifle. I fired a total of 15 shots and recoil was very comfortable and could have shot more but ran out of time.

Well that certainly did the trick Buckstix! Lovely group. Anything that you decide to get in front of that will be in very serious trouble! Job done!
