[QUOTE="crazymonkey, post: 3078060, member: 125421"] I had a sporterized 1903 springfield I ran a giveaway for and donated it to a young hunter . And had a very similar problem it had 2 piece bases . I think weaver as they were popular for this . Took the rifle in and had a 4x12 scope mounted as I was making it a ready to hunt package . It went to Axis Works for a muzzle break back before Eric knew what I was going to do with the rifle so it was outa my pocket. That rifle kicked my but for 3 months and a few new vortex scopes before I took it in and had it looked at . The bases were not even close to level and all 3 scopes had bent tubes because of this. I had Keith at Phoenix custom rifles take a look and we went egw one piece bases. You'd think problem fixed but nope . Still fought the scope vortex are junk in the few hundred dollar scopes so I put on a Leupold and had a go . It was on at 50 put I couldn't find my hit at100 so as I'm at the range another guy and his dad complemented me on the rifle as it was beautiful . As I explained it was being donated in a few days and I still couldn't get it to group the dad said maybe it's you . So he shot and I called hits and we walked it in . Problem solved and the rifle went to a deserving young hunter. I still do the giveaway I just use new guns to make sure they give the best results. If you need to run a one piece it definitely helped me just make sure your two piece are level . Had I done my own checks I'd have saved probably 100 rds of 06 ammo. [/QUOTE]
