It does not compress.

Do you not find that a bit harsh on the outer surface of the scope?

What would be the difference between an aluminum shim and an aluminum scope ring?

Anything that compresses or is elastic is going to have too much "give" and allow change of impact.

I have also been forced to reverse the scope rings on occasion or even set one ring clamping one direction and the other ring the opposite or shim between the ring clam and the rail.

You can also shim the mount, placing shims between the gun and the mount to lift front or back.

There are even wedge shaped shims/mounts used for mounting scopes on .22 rimfires for long range shooting. We have some folks over here that shoot .22 LR at 300-400 meters.
