[QUOTE="8andbait, post: 1139400, member: 40850"] You can also put the screws in the rail and see if any stick out the bottom further than the others. I would assume the long go in the back and the short in the front due to cant. Also if you can't tell any difference put one screw through the rail and screw into the action. Just finger tight and see if there is any play in the rail, then do the next one and so on, just one at a time. Check to see if any bottom out before getting tight. I have had a few rifles that the very front screw would bottom out and not allow the rail or ring to tighten completely. In that case I had to file the one screw down a little so it would tighten. If you have a caliper there should be a little end opposite the jaws that extends out and allows you to measure hole depth. [/QUOTE]
