[QUOTE="Brent, post: 62660, member: 99"] I'd still bed it. If you have access to a dial indicator and magnetic base, you can use it to now see the base flex from one of the front or rear screws as they are torqued down. If the rear edge of the front receiver ring, or front edge of the rear receiver ring sets a little low, when you torque the rear screw over the front ring, or the front screw over the rear ring, it WILL flex the base... this is a scenario where the base will appear to contact fully at the front and rear when in fact it is not. In this situation, it almost takes a dial indicator to establish which screw(s) can be snugged up, and by how much, without flexing the base while you bed it. [/QUOTE]
