[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 3079642, member: 115658"] I did a hasty amateur job - not receiving compensation (no pay) Centered scope reticle using a mirror, Shimmed up low base using aluminum pop can pieces so bases were level. Put scope(s) in Burris Sig rings & swivel plastic inserts to allow elevation & windage bore sight zero. Used Hornady 4DOF or other ballistic calculator to determine if I had a comfortable amount of elevation with intended load to hit at longest range with remaining elevation. If not enough elevation add 1-3 aluminum pop can layers (.008 - .011) to jack up rear base. Glue down entire works with blue lock tight. Use T15 base screws at 15-25 inch pounds on steel receiver, depending if (6-48 or 8-40) to squash aluminum down. Wait 2-3 days for blue lock tite to cure. No problems for many years (over 10). Works just fine on olde Mauser rifles having uneven base mounting surfaces. Blue lock thread locker prevents electrolysis between aluminum & steel. Don't try this with non Burris Sig rings. [/QUOTE]
