[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 186766, member: 8843"] You will either have to turn those down or ream out the scope base with a counter sink. Brownell's has the coutersinks for the 8-40. Once upon a time their was gun that redrilled and tapped his action for 8-40 screws and diden't relize that he would have to enlarge the base holes so , he wrapped a thin piece of tape around the screw threads and put it in his corless drill leaving the head exposed , this bright youg lad then used a small file and with the drill running he filed down the screw heads taking care to stop every so often and measure them so he diden't go to far (ony after messing one up) [/QUOTE]
