I would start with shims to raise the front of the scope up. In other words, move the cross hairs to the point of impact.
In an ideal world, the cross hairs should be adjusted to the center of the tube (counts the clicks Up-Dwn. and then 1/2 way back. Same for L-R) and that should be close to the point of impact if all was well, which is not in your case. Adjust from there. In your case, that might require a little thicker shim under the front of the scope.
Assuming that you have a one piece base, it is what it is.
If you have a 2 piece base, are they the same thickness or can they be reversed??
You will most likely have the same problem with another scope. New rings won't help unless the ones you have are defective in some way.
Here is a thread on that subject. http://www.marlinforum.com/forum/f29/shimming-scope-773/
Hope this helps??
