[QUOTE="Nimrodmar10, post: 849850, member: 36369"] I got a new Remington 700 XCR Long Range Tactical 300 WM straight from Remington today. When I tried to mount the Nightforce base, none of the screws wanted to start. They did not have filler screws, so I figured they got junk in them when the stainless action was coated with their version of Ceracoat. Got out my 6-48 taps and ran it through the four holes. There was no way you could have gotten a screw in them, as they were. Re-tap then easy peasy, NXS scope mounted and ready to start barrel break in tomorrow. Everyone needs a set of taps for this reason. Cheap insurance against a broken off base screw. [/QUOTE]
