[QUOTE="earlcurtis67, post: 1028489, member: 47174"] JE has brought up an interesting point about scope ring alignment that has got me thinking. When i install the bases (weaver) i only screw down the bolts lightly to allow the bases to move and align themselves to the scope but stay put while removing the rings and scope. then tighten and torque the bases. This only solves the problem of perpendicular (?) alignment but not horizontal. What if you used short studs instead of the base screws, set the bases over the studs, then install the rings and scope, then much like a rail or one piece base you could check for horizontal misalignment of the bases to the reciever. Then if needed, bed the bases or base that is out. I realize this may be overkill, but lapping or reaming would not be nessesarry, or at least minimize it. I also realize that the quality of the bases and rings will go a long way to minimize misalignment, but we cant do anything about the condition of the receiver or the alignment of the reciver screw holes If anyone has a better or simpler way to align two piece rings rings, by all means......E [/QUOTE]
