[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3079503, member: 10755"] Yes, the front ring freely turns, there is resistance, but not enough to flex the scope tube. I actually put grease on the ring dovetail, and so should everyone… The truth is, any misalignment should be corrected by milling the screw holes larger on the centreline, regardless of the type of bases/mount being used. My Win Model 70 EW in 338WM is a prime example, front base holes were .025” off centre and crooked to the centreline of the action, 8-40 holes just cleaned it up, the rear holes were correct, but all were altered. The 8-40 screws are stronger on 338’s and larger magnums anyway. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
