[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1665530, member: 105"] My 5R Gen 2 in 6.5 Creed needed skim bedding on top of the aluminum bedding blocks to get it repeatably under a half inch. I also dropped in a Jewell and am very impressed with the way it shoots. By the way I've now had two EGW scope rails that I've had problems with and can't even get a reply from EGW for fixes. One had poorly spaced slots and the other one's included screws were so soft as to be unusable because they stripped as soon as I tried to use them. That drove me back to NightForce rails. They're simply perfect every time. For rings I've settled on the Burris XTR Signature rings with the plastic inserts. They simply won't damage a scope or leave rings marks and with almost all my scopes exceeding $1,000 in cost these days I just am NOT willing to mark a scope with rings and refuse to ruin a set of rings by lapping them.
