scope mount windage off

Scope mount on a Contender barrel is off in windage by roughly 50 m.o.a., mounting a scope that can adjust about 35 m.o.a. so it's about 15 m.o.a. shy of being able to be sighted in. I think I can shim the mounts to gain about 4 to 6 m.o.a., still not enough. So how can I adjust the mount sufficiently?

This is not the type of mount with windage screws on one end. Since shimming won't work it seems that the only choice is to rearrange the rings to see if there is another combination of ring positions that manages to align better.
