[QUOTE="Broz, post: 620912, member: 7503"] I am aware of the rem receiver issues. I noted that in an earlier post. I do not feel the rifle mfg was the problem in either case. The Mark V was a USA and it was a 6 lug. I called and ordered direct to get the proper rail. I don't just bolt any rail on. I do it with machined straight edge as I am very adamant about keeping the top of the rail true. I do not wish to transfer any uneven stress into the scope tube. With both of these rails, they were off right out of the package. The Wby rail you could see with the naked eye. Tightening down they got worse. It was a job to get them on properly. Once done the 20 moa rail was turned out to be 50 moa. I have custom milled bases to be a perfect match to a receiver and give proper cant to fit a scope to allow all elevation the scope had to be used for long shots. So I am in tune with fitting rails properly. Anyway, I was not comfortable with the wby at all, so I bit the bullet and ordered a Near Mfg base. It fit like a glove and needed only the skim bedding I do on all bases. That was the end of buying less expensive rails for me. I now use Nightforce and Near. I mount a dozen or so rails a year and have not had an issue since. I shoot to some pretty long distances and I want no excuses in my scope mounting process. So this is what works for me. Jeff PS: There was another member not to long ago on here having an issue with a EGW rail having way to uch cant. Might have been a mispackaging issue, or , could have been what I was seeing too. So I am not completely alone here. [/QUOTE]
