[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1349684, member: 78569"] I played around with it more tonight and noticed when I leveled the raceway at the ejection port the whole gun looked crooked. I leveled the gun via the stock and how the back of the action looked by eye and put a level on the tang raceway. By golly, it was dang level. Checked the the top of the receiver and it was level too. Put the rail on and level. Guess the raceway surfaces on the ejection port isn't necessarily the surface to be going from. Still didn't fix the horizontal adjustment. Georgiashooter, now it makes me think the rail or screw line isn't right. I don't have another rail to try. I decided to bed leaving the front screw and back screw loose and twist the rail more toward center and hold in place while the kwik JB set up. Testing the idea before bedding seemed to get me back into adjustment range but not perfect. We'll see if it took tomorrow and maybe run a shooting test this weekend. If that doesn't work, I'll order a Nightforce or something and see if that is any better. Thanks for all the ideas [/QUOTE]
