[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 1037222, member: 10391"] I have not watched my smith install a rail but he has told me this is what he does. First start with a quality rail I use Near. He jigs the rifle up in his mill all straight and square with the world then using a dial indicator makes the adjustment to the receiver so that the rail ends up aligned properly. He then mounts the rail with a bedding compound verifying that things are right using the dial indicator. Of course there is more to it but you get the idea. It's all about taking the stress out of the scope when it is mounted. I'm putting together a 300 WM and will spend more time looking over his shoulder when he is open to it during the next rail mount. Will ask him if I can video the process. [/QUOTE]
