[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 720060, member: 13632"] We've been thrashing a 338 RUM with a Sightron SIII 6-24x50 in Burris tac rings on a BEDDED EGW 20 MOA base with zero changes. It's had some hellish rides but it's in a padded case in the back of a side by side and trucks. Been dead on for almost a year now with probably 400+ rounds. The only thing that makes it shoot odd is carbon fouling. I try to give the EGW bases all the help I can, I've some of the early ones crap out but the new HD rail bedded or flat glued down hasn't been and issue. If an optic moves zero just because it's on a 20 MOA base it's not a LR optic to begin with IMO, the most drastic movement I've seen from one of my rifles was a bedding job I did that was not stress free and would torque the action, one day it would be one place the next time move several inches and then one day it went all to hell while I was shooting and I finally found the culprit. I would think if the scope was moving that far it would work around more when firing it, but the way those handle bar racks hold a rifle they could work over the stock I would think. Strap it down in a padded case with a bungie and take it for a ride and see if it moves then. [/QUOTE]
