[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 199296, member: 2736"] Sambo Like James I bed the bases if they do not fit perfict,and have never had a problem with them. I like big bore rifles and pistols with no muzzel breaks and recoil is heavy and the only problem I have had was with the windage adjustable bases breaking the cap screws that adjust windage. This has been solved with duel dove tail rings and bases. Some of my rifles exceed 70 ft/lbs of recoil and one of my pistols is just under 60 ft/lbs and I have never had a problem with the bases shifting. I prefer 8/40 screws but the 6,s will work if the base fits properly. Also I use just a touch of lock tight on these screws. I would not recomend any file work or extra drilling on a recever.
