[QUOTE="Dave Liwanag, post: 63002, member: 43"] [b]Re: bedding scope base[/b] If it's a stock 700 you should also check the scope mount holes to make sure they are indeed true and parallel to bore line. I have one that had all four holes off, causing the rail to point the front of a Leupold M1-16X off towards 1 o'clock. Had to TIG-weld the holes, re-bore, and re-tap. Remington 700s are NOT outside turned and trued, so if you have a good, true rail with holes out of line (or a thick, sprung rail) you can stress the action. [/QUOTE]
