I bought a scope for my 10/22. I am using the scope rail that came with the gun. The scope came with 3/8” rings.

The guy at the gun store told me it would mount, but it doesn’t look secure when I mount it.

Here are some photos:

As you can see, there is a gap between the scope and the scope base. Is this normal?

Edit: Ended up buying $18 weaver rings on Amazon. The scope itself was only $30 so hopefully these fit good.
