[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2261505, member: 10755"] I would measure the depth as it is currently, then measure the depth again with the front screw torqued down. The difference is how much material you need to add. You could use this info once measured to drill out the pillar and bed a new one in place at the correct depth. I have had to do this a few times, worst one was a Ruger M77 MKII that had a .050” bend when the front screw was tightened because the front angled pillar was put in at the wrong height. Loosening the middle screw showed the bend decrease even without a depth gauge attached! Cheers. [/QUOTE]
