Question:
Are you having trouble with vertical or horizontal alignment?? Vertical = 20 MOA Rail? On backwards? Not enough adjustment in scope? Horizontal = rings installed incorrectly or mounting holes on action not in line with bore.

Hi @Bryan,
So, the trouble is, i can't make it group with less than 1.1/2", it get kind all over the place such as the following photos. The base was put together by me and i did follow all the procedures such as "glue" it and etc. The base(Piccatiny rail) is a standard Tikka 0MOA that came with my Varmint rifle.
Scope adjustments i am sure is enough as it is a 75MOA travel stated by the manufacturer. As you can see in the photos, it is "random" but mostly horizontal what make me think the problem are the rings.

I will look more carefully in the matters and maybe swap one of my scopes or buy a better ring set for it.

Thank you a lot for the advise.

Cheers.
