Help me to choose a scope base:)

[Ingwe]

I am mounting a Swarovski X5 Scope on a Rem M700 LA with low Seekins mounts. The X5 protrudes a bit on the bottom on the scope where the adjustments are, so it hits the mount if I use a 1pc base. I am trying to find a 20MOA 2pc base with 8x40 screws but it seems as though nobody makes what I'm looking for. Nightforce does but seems to come with the 6x48 screws.

I kind of suprised that I can't find what I'm looking for so I'm wondering if I'm missing something??

I know that I can use a medium height rings but I would rather not. I can also have a gunsmith drill out the base for the larger screws but hopefully one of you have a better suggestion.

Thanks!

Simply remove material from the offending area and use a 1 piece rail .

I thought of that too but it would make the bridge pretty thin

I wouldn't stress about a thin bridge, I'd feel better about a straight rail . Consider bedding the rail and move forward with confidence.
