[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 698737, member: 22335"] Ironically, I have a set of Leupold bases with a significant alignment error of the double dovetail slots. Even worse, the error has the slot offest to the left in front and to the right in back which results in an additive error of my scope pointing to the left compared to the barrel. It took quite a while to figure it out, and for years I just used offsets in my Burris Signature rings to straighten it out. I've now removed those bases but you are correct in that only a small misalignment can cause significant scope alignment errors. As he's already tried 2 different sets of bases I doubt that is his problem. I just wanted to add to your comment with my own example. [/QUOTE]
