[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 698650, member: 22335"] A possible way to check alignment - Remove scope, rings, bases, etc. Use your studfinding laser or similar (you do have one for doing stuff around the house, right?) to run a laser line down all 4 mounting holes, and look at where that line goes in relation to the barrel. If you can line up all 4 holes and the laser doesn't essentially run down the middle of the barrel you now know they're off. You can also reverse the process and run the laser down the middle of the top of the barrel and see if you can "catch" all 4 mounting holes. Hey, it's free and probably worth trying. :D [/QUOTE]
