[QUOTE="BJH, post: 1634999, member: 93876"] Wait to get a response from Remington. I have owned a lot of Remington 700's over the years and have never had an issue with things no lining up properly or fitting the way they should. You did ell buying the NF base and i should have fit. The problem is that the holes were not tapped correctly. It may be as easy as cleaning the threads. Your options will be to either send it back to Remington and then anything wrong will be on them to take care of (do not touch anything if you are going to do this). Or, take it to a good gunsmith and have them run a tap in the holes or drill out to 8-40. [/QUOTE]
