[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 13485, member: 3"] I've been coming across a problem with the Badger one-piece bases. The screws supplied with the base are too long for the front set of holes. Being an little fussy about my procedures and equipment I always check the base screw tightness one screw at a time by tightening one then check for fit then loosening the screw and tightening another and recheck. I do this for each screw in the 4 screw series and it assures me that no screw is bottoming out and thus providing no benefit. This last weekend I watched a newbie mount his Badger one-piece base without performing this check and I stopped him. He wasn't too happy about my offering assistance until HE discoverer that the front screws were too long and merely filled in the holes without providing any assistance in holding the base to the rifle. I also just recently read on Sniper Country [url="http://www.snipercountry.com"]http://www.snipercountry.com[/url] about another person having this same problem and assuming the screws were working loose rather than just being too long.
