[QUOTE="Lee in OH, post: 16076, member: 1045"] Just adding shims won't get it done. The scope base needs to rest firmly on the top of the action. If you just shim the back, the front will only make solid contact at the front. This will allow your scope to wobble or you may bend the base. You could shim the rear as needed and then bed the base to the action so that the surfaces mate properly with the action. If I were you, I'd keep on shooting them at 600 and save up some cash for the correct base. No sense in half a$$ing it. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
