[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 207292, member: 8"] Depending on reciever thickness and other things you can probably get 20 MOA of shim in without a problem. There comes a point that you will need longer screws if you go to high. Then if you get screws that are too long they protrude and hit the bolt. When I went to get longer screws my local gunshop just poured out two jars of screws on the counter and told me to take the ones I needed. Be careful not to strip a partially engaged screw. Once you get everything set the way you want it you can glass bed the base. About 5 or 6 layers of aluminum can will give you what you need. [/QUOTE]
