[QUOTE="Broz, post: 604112, member: 7503"] Hmmmm, some how I believe our paths might have crossed. You would not happen to know a good friend of mine from DesMoines, Ia named Jim would you?? Anyhow, Maybe you have noticed that to achieve a "good fit" some rail base mfg's will hollow out a void in the middle of the rail where it contacts the receiver. This way it fits like a saddle only touching on both sides and not in the middle. I especially want to bed these to maximise surfase contact. I will not say if you don't bed your base you will have problems. But I will say I have seen problems and with the heavy scopes I bolt on top I want all I can get. Next time you have it off dykem it and see what it says. You may then choose to bed it. or not? Jeff [/QUOTE]
