[QUOTE="edge, post: 161279, member: 5030"] Since you are changing the scope anyway, remove the front base screw. I think that you will find it to be a blind hole. What you see is the barrel shank threads, and sometimes the screw is too long. With the base off, count haw many turns it takes for this screw to bottom out. Next, install the base and count how many turns it takes. The screw will stretch a bit, so make sure that WITH the base it is 1/2 turn less than Without. Otherwise the screw will be bottomed out and you will swear that the base is tight, but it won't be. edge. [/QUOTE]
