[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 484459, member: 10391"] My smith mounted a Near Mfg. Picatinny rail on a rifle he is finishing for me. The receiver was found to not be perfect so the Picatinny was beded. Once done the rifle was jigged up and the rail was checked with a dial indicator to be perfect in both directions. I like the rails for reasons already mentioned and the Near has a lug that rest against the receiver to help prevent movement under recoil. Both Seekins and Near Mfg. make quality rails and rings. I have both. Picatinny rails are mounted to the receiver not the barrel as you stated. When properly mounted they would add to the integrity of the receiver. When mounting the scope the rings should be checked for alignment but with a properly fitted rail the rings should line. [/QUOTE]
