[QUOTE="6XCShooter, post: 674803, member: 50815"] I was under the impressing that if I utilized a one peice base (20moa or standard Leupy)that it likely would need to be bedded to the top of the reciever. Otherwise when I tightened the base down it would put unwanted torque on the reciever. Most of my hunting rigs have the two piece Leupy bases with dove tail rings, lapped. I also have two "longer range" rigs with 30mm tubes mounted on 20moa bases -bedded. I did all of this because I was told this was the way the big boys in the benchrest world did it? My experience firing 1000s of rounds with the methods mentioned above ... from .223 to .300 Wby Mag ... no problems. I think so long as you get a quality set of bases and rings (as mentioned by previous posts) you should be fine. Good Luck and Good shooting! [/QUOTE]
