[QUOTE="Wado, post: 1331745, member: 42926"] I put a Ken Farrell rail on one of my 98 Muaser's that had a Redfield one piece base with three screws on it a while back. I called them and asked about the hole spacing but never got a positive answer as to would it match. I took a chance and ordered it anyway and it matched perfectly with the exception of the fourth hole that had to be drilled in the rear of the receiver. I used it for a couple of years with three screws and I had to pull the scope off to thread the barrel so the fourth hole got drilled and tapped. If it's a two piece chances are the distance between the sets of holes could be random unless the receiver was drilled with a fixture like one I have that installs into the receiver with the barrel removed that has the spacing for Redfield and similar bases. Back when I worked in a machine shop I always measured the centers and drilled the receivers in a milling machine that had a nice digital read out and I could do them with the barrels in place. Doing them in my home shop with a drill press the barrels have to be removed to use the fixture but they are the same every time. If a Redfield one piece matches your holes I would bet the Farrell base would match, it did on mine. My 98 308 Mauser with the Farrell base. [/QUOTE]
