[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 537298, member: 22335"] I had a set like this and discussed it with the Talley company when I was at the SHOT show in January. They agreed it wasn't normal and sent me a free replacement set. FYI, in my case (Wby Mark V) I think the issue is either the action height or the ring base height. I used a 1 inch steel bar to bed the two rings in a perfect line and the issue went away so that I didn't have to lap the new set. I can't recall which (rifle is back at Dad's place) but one of the rings set perfectly and the other had a very small gap under it - enough to cause the problem. By torquing the "perfect" base, then that ring and then the ring of the other base I was able to keep it all in line. No, I realize that's not the normal way to do it but it was better than having excessively lapped rings - one of which took a paint chip out of the scope. I hope that makes sense. [/QUOTE]
