Scope mounting question.

Mounted the VXII on the Ruger 10/22 a couple of weeks ago and finally got around to taking it out to zero it yesterday.
The VXII replaced the Bushnell as I just plain didnt like the Bushnell.
When I originally sighted the Bushnell in I had to shim the rear scope ring as I ran out of height adj when I sighted it in.
So, I mount the VXII, and the first shot at 40yds is about 3' low. Crank the scope up and fired a shot....still low. Ended up running out of adj with the VXII so it looks like I have the same problem and will have to shim this one.
Here is a pic of the 10/22 with the Bushnell...
My question is.....Could there be something wrong with the rings or bases or is it normal with the setup shown on the rifle.?
Just wondering............

Still enjoying the trip of a lifetime and making the best of what I have.....
