[QUOTE="RJ338, post: 378972, member: 10046"] The real issue is weather the reciever is near the same specs as the rings. Remington machines the rear reciever surface and then in the finishing process, polished(deburrs) both surfaces. Neither of them will necessarily be aligned the the bore. Problem is when you use a two pc. base it will align to thase two surfaces that are ??? pointing wherever... This is why you end up lapping rings, and sometimes redrilling and tapping to larger mounting screws to bring the windage in. I recamend you look at the DNZ ring mount. It is a one pc. base and lower ring unit(like the Talley, but one pc.)Then to get the elevation right, shim the very rear of the base and "bed the base with JB Weld. "Note", wax the reciever and screws well! and degrease the bottom of the base and DON"T tighten the screws, only gently snug the front and rear screws, and just run the middle two in until they touch. This is the hard way to do what using the Burris Signature rings do. [/QUOTE]
