[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 199254, member: 2740"] I just got through watching "How to shoot beyond belief" and they mentioned that they "pin" their scope bases to the receiver, but another method they showed involved using a dremel tool to engrave a shallow X shaped cut into the receiver top between both sets of scope base holes and the same thing on the under side of the scope bases and then putting some epoxy in between them to help keep the base from moving. I am not about grab my rifles and start working with the dremel just based on their opinion, but it did make me think about securing the scope base properly, especially on rifles that have stiff recoil. All I have ever done is apply some loctite to the screws and crank them down tight. Should I be doing more to keep these bases from shifting? [/QUOTE]
