[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2007440, member: 38048"] On a 2 piece set you need to use a bridge between the peices. If you have a bar the diameter you need use it. I use my lapping bar. But you can use your scope also. Out release agent on top of receiver and screws. Fill the screw holes with release agent too. Put bedding on bottom of base. Use one screw only on each base. Don't tighten all the way down. Set scope in the rings and put the tops on. Nothing needs lined up as far as cross hairs or anything. The scope comes back off anyway. Just lightly snug the tops. Now press down on top of the scope to push the bases down as far as they will go with light pressure. Let gravity hold it in place. But you need to keep the gun level till it sets up. When the bedding is set up take it apart and clean up any spots that need it. Re assembly with all the screws now and it should be torque free. This is how I do them. I don't use many 2 piece setups.
