[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 840999, member: 34084"] Are you sure it's the base screws that are mis-aligned, or could the barrel be installed crooked? I find that crooked barrels are pretty common in production rifles. You can tell if the barrel is crooked by placing a 24" metal straight edge across the right side of the receiver and measuring the gap to the barrel at the muzzle end of the straight edge. Then repeat for the left side. The two measurements should agree. If not, you can calculate the alignment error. The point is, a crooked barrel is easily fixed by truing the receiver and reinstalling the barrel. Meanwhile, you can use Burris Signature Rings to correct the boresight problem, regardless of the cause. A crooked barrel may still shoot tight groups. [/QUOTE]
