[QUOTE="Broz, post: 347118, member: 7503"] I agree and I usually bed all my bases to take up the minor voids and mis-alignments of the two mating surfaces. I bought this rifle with the base installed and only checked the screws for tightness. But,,, In this case this is a HUGE miss. To bed this base and retain a true surface on the top of the mount with the intended 35 moa cant, you would have .060" to .080" of bedding only under the rear pad of the base. This means you would need longer screws. That is not going to fly with any of us I am sure. This base is soft and bends easy. In my opinion it is a cheap piece of junk and is not even close to the kind of equipment needed to engage in a long range shot on an animal. Jeff [/QUOTE]
