[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 2012069, member: 105322"] The fact that the business cards compress ever so slightly, allows that you can tighten down the scope under pressure and it will remain level as you do... and you can still get the cards out afterward. With some scopes and rail combos you may need 1/2" or more of something to fill the gap. That is a lot of feeler gauge to manage while you are tightening stuff down. An even better idea is using Post-it notes. You take the little squares an cut the stack in half, then peel it down to the exact thickness you need. The papers are already glued together so you don't have to keep them in place while you tighten. [/QUOTE]
