[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1533567, member: 29632"] Pulled everything apart and looked it over real well. I had put dykem pretty much on anything metal last time I assembled it, looks like it's making contact in all the right places, verified clearance in action screws to ID of pillars, pulled one piece talley rings off, and the front base aft screw was not as tight as the rest, checked clearance between front screw and barrel is good, reinstalled everything (quick search I found recommended tq 25 In lbs for base screws, 20 for ring screws). I know I shouldn't have done it, changing too many variables at once and all, but I threw on the viper HS that arrived this week. I have no reason to believe anything was wrong with the other scope, but figured since I had it all torn down already might as well swap as this is the rifle I bought that scope for. Now to do as Shtrrdy suggested and go pick up some more 175 Federal, and try the 168 while I'm at it. Might go make up a few with what I got and just see if tightening that base screw seems to fix everything...2 hour round trip to Academy counting stand in line time [/QUOTE]
