[QUOTE="Broz, post: 345993, member: 7503"] Guys I appreciate all the help. This has been driving me nuts. When removed the base appears and measures to have decline cant. But when bolted to the receiver it does not. Well here is another pic with the base tightened down. It seems the geometry of the base does not match the receiver. When you are snugging down the screws you can actually see the base change shape and the front of the base changes angles. An arch is formed in the rail. After tightened I put a straight edge on top the rail and it is way crooked. The straight edge shows the front of the base is high in the screw area and this is taking away the cant that it had. You can even see this in the pic. I am wrighting it off to a cheap base and will buy a good one. I wish I knew who manufactured it so I could avoid them in the future. Thanks!
