[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 798023, member: 30902"] Your rail should be made to fit securely on both ends with no gaps or bowing. Doing the bedding and torquing the way I laid out takes care of most of that. If you can tighten your front screws and have that much clearance on the rear I'd get some lapping compound and lap the front end until you get it where it will set level. If it does have a bow in it then it's going to create downrange problems on you and if it's bad enough could even damage the scope body when you mount it. [/QUOTE]
