[QUOTE="Scott E Ames, post: 1876302, member: 60439"] Not a gun smith but nothing between the rings and scope but a couple of air molecules. All my rifles have rails. I set eye relief and level reticle then "snug" down rear ring to prevent any movement ,relax front base and ease it to the front of the slot in the rail. Tighten base to rail the use feeler gauges to set gap on rings even side to side. Once the front ring screws are torqued to spec rear base is slightly relaxed so it can be eased to the rear of the slot in the rail the tightened and same feeler gauge process used to torque rear ring screws down after base has been torqued. Now real gun smiths tell me if I am wasting time or otherwise doing this wrong. [/QUOTE]
