[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 567512, member: 1007"] Try this: 1: Take all 4 base screws out. 2: Install the 2 screws on the front of your base. 3: Look to see if there is any space between the rear of the action and the base. 4: Repeat the proccess using the rear screws while looking for space between the front of the action and the base. If there is much space at all, this is enough to cause stress on the action when you take and torque a straight rigid object like a scope to a base that is not straight due to an imperfect action. If there is space, the base should be bedded to fill the gap so the base can be straight. A straight scope and a straight base is critical to consistent accuracy. They typically come straight from the factory. The key is keeping them straight when mounting them to the action. It also helps to lap the rings. [/QUOTE]
