[QUOTE="rlspahn, post: 2188606, member: 11120"] It looks to me that you're describing a rotation of the rings around the centerline of the axis of the scope, rather than the front-to-rear alignment of the rings to each other (scope cant). With a 2-piece scope base, it's possible for the front and rear bases to be rotated out of alignment with each other. Remove the rings and check the level of the bases in the same manner that you checked the level of the rings in the photo. If the bases are not level with each other, then you will have a problem moving the scope between rifles. The rings will try to twist the scope as they are tightened to the bases of the other rifle. A single-piece picatinny base can help, but it can also be twisted when it is tightened to the receiver. You would need to bed the scope base to the rifles to eliminate this twist. I hope I've explained this clearly. [/QUOTE]
