[QUOTE="Dentite, post: 3079497, member: 84845"] Sorry I'm not making myself clear. Would be easier if we in person I could use my hands to describe what I'm asking. Okay, are you saying that when you crank on the rear windage screws, the front ring also turns in the dovetail base? In other words, the front scope ring freely turns right and left to maintain alignment with the rear scope ring as the windage screws are turned moving the rear ring? If that's what you are saying, that makes sense to me. But I had assumed that installing (rotating) the front ring into the front base took some pretty good force (hence using a lapping bar and not the actual scope). Can this force be overcome by the force of the rear windage screws? I assumed the front ring was so tight in the front base that it wouldn't freely move, but the scope body itself would be torqued/bent as the windage screws are turned. Hopefully that makes sense.
