[QUOTE="noone, post: 284488, member: 15610"] [b]For SS7[/b] Absolutely outstanding graphics and explanation. I have rifles with the MOA machined into the base, and have used the shim/bed method. I found out about the screw issue the hard way, but was fortunate to be able to locate proper screws. The shim wasn't high enough to throw off the base/receiver holes-I didn't even have difficulty getting the threads to catch. Although both methods worked out fine for me, I think that having the base with the angle machined into it is the best option, and certainly the least work. But for those folks lacking access to a base with the angle machined into it, doing the shim/bed (with a one piece base) might be the only option until the proper base can be located. I sure wouldn't recommend shimming a two piece base setup (unless you don't care what happens to your scope, and performance isn't an issue). [/QUOTE]
