[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1068176, member: 34084"] In my experience this happens often with Remington 700 bases. The receiver dimensions vary a little bit in production. If you tighten the base screws as is, the rail will be bent and/or twisted. Then the rings will be guaranteed to be mis-aligned, leading to problems with the scope later on. I would definitely take the time to bed the base. I have an assortment of brass shim material that I use to cut a tight-fitting shim when I'm in a hurry. [/QUOTE]
