[QUOTE="Whaler63, post: 1649672, member: 109887"] Not sure if it's China or US...But I have recently experienced the following w/Leupold. I purchased a VX5-HD to top my new M70EW. I also purchased Leupold bases and rings. [LIST=1] [*]Mounting screws too short...2-1/2 thread engagement !!!. Needs to be 1.5x the width of the screw. The screws -striped when I torqued to spec. [*]Hole in the base was either a poor caste or counter sunk too far. [/LIST] To think that a $1300 rifle & $1000 scope can be brought down by a $35 mount base is amazing. [/QUOTE]
