So I think my CZ varmint eveloution is an 11mm (.340" on widest point). I couldn't find 11mm rings low enough, so I bought millet 3/8" windage adjustable. I heard these will work because the are windage adjustable. I figured my scope will be to the left of my bore, so how do I bring parellel to my bore with the windage adjustments?

I've never seen or used windage rings, but I'm assuming the left and right clamps are independent of each other. So if my thinking is right, you'd loosen the left side clamps and tighten the right side clamps until aligned where you want.
Have you looked into a scope base that slips onto the dovetail thereby allowing the use of standard rings? I got one from DIP Inc.

That's what I think to. I just don't know how much to move it over or tell when it's align.
I got one from DIP and it said CZ455 but it's has screws and my base doesn't?

^^the screws are there to hold it place, like a set screw. the base slips over the dovetail. i've had no issues with mine so far.
only things i can think of are:
mark the rings dead center with a pencil or sharpie, mark the receiver dead center. count the amount of clicks it takes you to get from out of click adjustment Left to all the way Right, divide by 2 and click back to that answer to find the center of the windage adjustment on the scope. start with one side of the windage "arms" bottomed out on both rings, and count how many turns it takes to match up the center lines on one ring. then back off the other ring the same amount - it should match up with the center lines with the same amount of turns of the ring's windage arm screw. this'll get as close as you can to not bowing the scope tube left or right once tightened down.
or measure from one side of the ring "column" to the other side at the dove tail, then measure it the other side and make sure the two distances are the the same as you tighten the ring down. then do the same to the other ring.
even counting the number of times you unscrewd the windage arm from bottomed out on both rings should get you close enough to eyeballing where center is. you should have more than enough windage adjustment on the scope from there. but you want to make sure that you are not bowing the scope with misaligned, twisted, or offset rings. hopefully you have a length of 1" pipe and the rings / scope is 1", mounting the pipe in the rings will help with making sure they are in line with each other.

theres also a nifty little 11mm to weaver i've bought but not yet tried, but seems that it'll work.

again i still have yet to try them to see if they'll stay put, but i also figure that if the set screw doesn't stay put, they'll act like a shim or spacer and the clamping force of the ring should keep them clamped down tight. at least in theory.

Well stupid me, I had a DIP rail I just saw the holes and said wait a minute.. My rifle isn't taped and drilled? But it slipped over, and I was literally shooting eager holes this morning with eley 40gn match bullets, it was fun!
Yep install is simple enough Just held in place by by putting pressure on the bottom side of the Dovetail
