[QUOTE="Varmtr, post: 1190176, member: 90188"] G'Day Rossco If you were going to drill and tap a thread for a scope base were the plug is then I would tig a plug in. If you plan to drill and tap either side of the pond for a base, I don't see a issue with just epoxy the plug in. As long as the plug contours the action the base will clamp down on the plug and original metal evenly. The stresses in regards to a scope base under recoil for one's that don't have a recoil lug is taken by the screws. Hence most guys upgrade the screws from 6x48's to 8x40's. [/QUOTE]
