[QUOTE="Broz, post: 342350, member: 7503"] I was having this problem finding one for a Super VarmintMaster Weatherby. The SVM has a smaller downsized Mark V action with only a 6 lug bolt. Anyway, I called EGW and spoke with a very nice gentleman and he said he had the base. The price was very reasonable , but when I got the base it would rock like it was bent when I set it on the receiver. I placed it on the floor, up on a block of wood and bent it with my foot. Petty soft..... So I got it close, and applied some bedding compound to the back of it and drew it down to the receiver with the screw. It bent as I was tightening it and pulled down nicely. When it dried I installed my 5.5x22x50 nxs in NF rings. Went to the range and found that what was suppose to be a 20 moa base was someting like 50 moa. With the NXS with 100 moa adjustment, all the wat down I was still 1" high at 100 yards with a 22-250. I chalked it up to you get what "you pay for." Maybe I just got a bad base, and this was my one and only experience with EGW. Jeff [/QUOTE]
