[QUOTE="Iclimb, post: 888429, member: 70322"] Quote from previous thread: Kevin Cram---- "The raceways are either broached or wire edm'd parrallel to each other during machining. The guard screws are then drilled and tapped perpendicular to the raceways. The scope base holes are then drilled and tapped in reference to the guard screws. The raceways give you a parrallel surface from which to reference the reticle of the scope in the same plane." What are you leveling to when you use the scope base? That's fine, you mention the bases in relation to the action. Do/would you level off the base? Maybe you can turn me on to better mounting methods, would you share your strategy? If you search YouTube for "wheeler precision scope level" and watch how they suggest to level your rifle. Using then scope base, I just have seen misaligned holes before and holes drilled off center. This is why I cannot use the scope base to level my action. If you've ever used the level-level-level system you might feel its a little hokey. [/QUOTE]
