[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1634758, member: 77249"] Check the mounting holes and screws very carefully. . Are the threaded holes 6-48 or 8-40 size? What are the screw size? Is there actually threads in all 4 holes, Or were the problem holes drilled out and not threaded? There is something about scope mounting screw size in the specifications for a police tactical rifle. I believe requires 8-40 scope screws. If that rifle had to go through the custom shop to have the scope mounting holes enlarged to 8-40, Someone may have done 2 holes and did not do the other 2 holes properly. Just thoughts on what could have cause this SNAFU. [/QUOTE]
