[QUOTE="Philward, post: 2242193, member: 92604"] I just installed a new scope to one rifle, using EGW rail and rings, and moved the removed scope to a different rifle. Wanted to install a one piece base on second rifle but didn't like the fit so kept the 2 piece bases that were on it and installed low rings instead of mediums. When I put my 1" round stock alignment pieces in and got them centered horizontally they were misaligned vertically. Considered lapping, but instead I made a shim from brass stock I had on hand and put under the front base. Alignment near perfect now, lapping not needed. [/QUOTE]
