[QUOTE="redneckdan, post: 1309032, member: 8932"] Farrell GFORCE base and low rings do not clear a 16X SWFA as shipped. The interference is scope to rail not scope to barrel. Some grinding on the rear of the base to taper fixed that. There is a lot of meat that can come off the base before getting anywhere close to the screw seat. Doesn't look to bad. I prefer having the scope mounted low. Plenty of clearance objective to barrel, including scope covers, with this setup. Bedded the base, torqued the screws with loctite 271 to 25 in-lbs. Seated the cross bolts and torqued to 50 in-lbs. Set the eye relief and got the cross hairs pretty close to level, torqued the ring screws to 25 in-lbs. My understanding is level to earth is more important than level to rifle. I intend to get a scope mounted bubble level at some point. Got 10rds of 225gr SST loaded over 90gr of RE 22 in Nosler brass with WLRM primers. Intend to put it on paper as I work on barrel break in tomorrow afterwork [/QUOTE]
