[QUOTE="ArizonaWildernessHunter, post: 842139, member: 62354"] This is what should be done [media=youtube]SY73qV5dJfM[/media] and then bed a one piece scope base to fit the top of the action. If there is a high side only tighten the screws on this side so the base does not flex. Check for this problem extensively before starting the bedding process. I have noticed that on 2 of my 700s that the rear base screw holes are not in alignment and have not corrected it yet since I was able to deal with it using machined off 2 piece bases. My dad has a savage rifle that was misaligned and offset so much that it took 3 different bases till one could be machined off and re-drilled to correct the problem (think a warne steel base finally worked). This cost $15 per base for the modifications. When I rebarrel I am going to get this corrected on the 2 remingtons. [/QUOTE]
