[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 626366, member: 22335"] You could calculate how much of a shim you will need. Apply release agent to the action and bedding material to each underside of the mounts. Insert shim under the back of the rear mount or around the rear screw hole (your choice) when installing. Of the 4 screws (2 front, 2 back) you could install the front one to about 5-10 in-lb, the middle two just so they align the bases left-to-right, and the rear one (which has the shim underneath) also to 5-10 in-lbs. Be sure to put release agent on all 4 screws. Now, using a 1 inch bar (i.e. scope alignment bar) you would torque each of the [B][I]ring cap screw[/I][I]s[/I][/B] to 20 or 25 in-lbs. This would effectively place the mounts in a straight line based on the alignment bar, and the front screw would act as the "zero" for the mounts, the rear screw as the highest point. After it all dries and you remove the alignment bar you can install your scope stress free. Obviously, be sure to torque all of the base screws before installing the scope. You might think I've done this before. :D [/QUOTE]
