[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3077906, member: 10755"] I have plenty of experience milling and setting up bases on Mauser ‘98 actions. Why you use a 2 base set-up is for the sole reason to have WINDAGE adjustment on the rear base and ring. You can also use a single one piece base, but again the rear ring has WINDAGE adjustment. Most base screw holes are machined using a jig, even at the factory, and others are CNC milled, mistakes happen on production items. You are overthinking this, even today, actions are milled off centre for scope base holes. My own Win Model 70 EW 338WM is out, it was a warranty job, milled it true from 6-32 to 8-40 and fixed it, then the customer decided he didn’t want to buy more bases, which wasn’t actually necessary, and sold it to me half price. It was brand new… Cheers. [/QUOTE]
