[QUOTE="Holmes, post: 14737, member: 457"] Thank you for the comments, gentlemen. Most informative. The rifle is a budget conscious project; M700 in 25/06, trued/bedded, 27" Lilja, McMillan HTG, Rifle Basix trigger, and Weaver T-16, freshly blueprinted. I originally intended to use Lightforce 2-piece bases as I wanted the additional 20 MOA but preferred the looks of the separate bases. After reading these posts, I think I'll spring the extra $40 for the one piece Picatinny spec style. I had not considered the possibility of misaligned receiver holes. As I am rapidly depleting my bank account, I am considering using the Burris Signature rings with inserts even though I have always lapped my own rings. I have heard good things about the Burris rings, but would certainly be interested in your comments. BTW, Ian, is "wonky" an official technical term used by the Long Range shooting crowd?!
