I just picked up an Aimpoint 5000 for a song. The mount is a mystery though. It's a single point picatinny mount. The ring part has a 6 screw cap. The odd part is that it seems to have an upward tilt. The scope is not level. Do any tactical rifles have a rail that tilts down as it goes forward? Thanks.

 It looks to me as if the entire mount has been  bent upward by careless handling, a fall, etc.  I'd buy a new mount.
