[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 343862, member: 7449"] Here's my "best way." You clamp the action down in a mill vice, the action gets clocked off the raceways and I indicate down the side of a mandrel to ensure the action's bore center is pointed parallel with the X axis. I then bore my holes to the correct location and punch out to 8-40. Now I KNOW the rail will be pointing "down the pipe". Chasing the holes with a drill will only make the same problem all over again as the drill will want to follow what is already there. Lots of ways to skin cats but I personally feel this method is the best because it resolves the problem at its source. All the best, Chad [/QUOTE]
