[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1954402, member: 107384"] I would never snug one end of a Pic base down tight and not even have a screw in the other end. Start at one end and turn each screw a little at a time until all are snug and properly torqued. Frankly IMO even if the base is very slightly bowed, as long as the screws are tight and the rings tightly secured to the base you shouldn't see the kind of issues that you are experiencing. Also I'd put as much distance as I could between the 2 rings and still have comfortable eye relief. In your OP your gunsmith likely used a collimator. Boresighting is when you remove the bolt and look down the bore and center a target in the bore. Then you adjust with the turrets until the crosshairs are centered on the target that is seen through the bore. With a custom rig like yours the scope should have been gnat's *** on cept for the 20 MOA of extra elevation. [/QUOTE]
