[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 156518, member: 8"] The inserts prevent a tweak to the scope. If you don't like that solution, there is the hard way to do it. Many people like doing things the hardest possible way. Go and buy your hundred dollar rail and your hundred dollar rings and mount your scope. Zero the rifle and then determine whether you have enough elevation left on the dial. If not then figure out how much more you need. Take the rail off the rifle. Climb the fence over into your neighbor's back yard where you have been chucking your beer cans and get one and take it to the kitchen. Get the kitichen shears while your wife is not looking and cut out about 10 shims that will fit between the front or rear screws to jack up the front or rear of the base. These shims will have an "H" shape. Come up on this forum and run "search" the word will be "shim" and the author will be "ABINOK" or "Chris Matthews". The thread you find will tell you the thickness of shims needed to gain 1 MOA of elevation. Come back up on this thread and ask whether to put the shims under the front or rear of the base. When I tell you which end, [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] you should put them under the other end being as I am always wrong about that. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Put the shims in and tighten every thing down and shoot the rifle to confirm that it is now correctly canted. If for some obscure reason you got it right the first time then take everything off and get some "glass" and put it all back together again except this time you will glass bed the rail so it is stable. After you get it glassed go outside and grab a brick and whack your self upside the head several time for forgetting to put on the release agent.
