[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 282538, member: 2736"] Sorry Roy but I did not mean to be "Brutal" But even the best ringes and bases can be off . I though about how they could be and the company I was talking about explained one way that it could happen (The problem I had with the rings I had purchased.) If the set is machined in the same batch they match ,But if they get mixed with another run there can be differances (My problem)I had rings from two different setups(Tooling changes). As to your question = If it is a rail type base you can install the bottom half of the rings to the rail and carefully lay the scope in the rings and check for fit and alignment or use a alignment tool if you have one and If it is a dual dovetail or a two piece base you will have to wait to mount it on the recever. The main thing is to be carefull during installation and make sure that every thing is as near to perfict as possible so you don't damage a high dollar scope. On the tactical type bases that are one machined piece there is not much chance that there is a problem with different hights of the rings but with two piece bases this can be a real problem and must be checked. Good luck !! J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
