[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 694805, member: 34084"] I saw that in your first post. Taping the bottom half reduces the diameter .008 from side to side. Then there will be an abrupt .008 diameter change at the ring split. This will cause the scope tube to become distorted, probably permanently. I've seen this happen with rings that use thick fabric tape to compensate for poor manufacturing. This approach will only lead to problems and cost you in the long run. Shim the bases if you need the extra elevation. I've done it many times to correct base mounting problems on Mausers and lever action rifles that were not designed for rings and I've never had a problem. Use beer can strips to make large shims. Use small pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil (.001) to tweak he bases into parallel alignment. Also, use a torque wrench. [/QUOTE]
