[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1086966, member: 1290"] For gun work it really pays to buy really good American made taps from MSC. They are not cheap but thy cut super nice. I believe your tap is soft or dull. I budget a brand new tap for each receiver. No drill bits for me on that job. I use an end mill and correct them as they are cut. Lots of times they are slightly out of line. A proper job will have that new scope with in a click or two of the scopes center when you get it sighted in. That's part of why gunsmiths charge $100+ to cut these 4 holes. [/QUOTE]
