[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 59581"] Yes the base is made using the drop. And yes if your action is factory you will have some sort of distortion on both the action and the base. I purchased a Ken Farrel one piece base for my win 70 action and in it was the instrutions to "glue" using a high strength industrial expoxy of sorts. When I laid the base on the rifle action I noticed that it did not contact the rear of the action. I took it to work and laid it on our granite layout table and ran an indicator over it, it was straight to within .0005 which still would have imparted stress into the action or the base and thrown the alignemnt of the rings off. I did as the instructions said and "glued" the base to the action, I used Ti Devcon and let it harden by clamping the portion of the base that did contact the action allowing the space (left because of the action being inconsistant) to be filled with the expoxy devcon. Then tightened the scope base screws as suggested by the instructions. I am nto saying in anyway that Badger's stuff isnt up to par, bar far it is some of the best equipment you can purchase however if it is placed on an inaccurate surface it will still not solve the problem. I lapp my rings, thats my story if they dont want to so be it I have made my point and thats the end of my story [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
