[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2251764, member: 93138"] The Murphy Method uses the middle two screws (one on each bridge) to get an average of the angle that either the front or the rear are at. If you use just the front two or just the rear two screws you're angling the rail in a way that may or may not be good for staying within the adjustment range of the scope at either extreme of range. Said differently, you're potentially turning a 20 MOA rail into a rail that effectively is 7.34 MOA or whatever angle it happens to work out as. As an added bonus it has the effect of having metal to metal contact on both receiver bridges. Can think of these contact zones being very much like pillar bedding in that they set the position and angle of the rail. [/QUOTE]
