[QUOTE="C-dub, post: 581950, member: 13676"] Hope I'm posting this in the right spot. I got in my Rem 700 Milspec (.308 win) this week and wanted to try it out at the range. I put a 20 moa pic rail on it and headed out in the wind today to get her sighted in fairly close. Imagine my surprise when I was about 7 moa LOW at 100 yds. I was running Fed GMM (waiting on my dies) with 168 SMK. I zeroed it in relatively close, shot a 3 shot group and then called it a day to conserve ammo. I still have a lot to do to her yet (Timney, LOP increase, different rings, etc.). Anyway, I got back home and pulled the base to measure the difference front to rear and came up with .080". I then leveled across the front of the receiver and measured down to the rear and got, yep, .080" giving me a 'flat' base! This is my first experience with a canted base. Am I missing something here or was the base mispackaged at the factory? Shouldn't it be about .050" taller in the rear after mounting? Let me know your suggestions. I asked this on another forum but figured I might get better/faster info here. Thanks for your help. Chris [/QUOTE]
