[QUOTE="Lemmer, post: 2007121, member: 115975"] I have a brand new Rem 700 American Wilderness Rifle in .338 RUM to which I am mounting a VX6 via 1-piece Leupold Backcountry rings/bases. Lapped the rings and went to level the scope - discovered that the front and rear rings are not level with each other due to the mounting holes in the receiver being slightly off (see pics). There is no flat spot on the receiver so I am putting the level on the rings/bases. 1) I think they are close enough to be able to correct via internal scope adjustment - any thoughts as to whether I am correct on that? 2) If so, which should I use to level the scope - The rear? Front? In the middle (where the rear is slightly off one way while the front is off an equal amount the other way)? Any help would be appreciated! [/QUOTE]
