[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1267642, member: 2736"] The reason they are still around is that there are still rifles out there that the scope base holes in the receiver are not drilled true to the bore and use up lots of scope adjustment. There is nothing wrong with them if they are set up correctly and the Windage adjustment is not over tightened. I don't use them any more if I don't have to (As long as the misalignment is not bad enough to eat up my Windage adjustments). The older scopes did not have much Windage adjustment (Maybe 10 MOA) but the newer ones have 40+ MOA normally so the need is just not there. I still see some rifles (Custom and Factory) that have the holes drilled incorrectly and In some cases it is still the best way to solve this condition without milling larger holes. The last rifle I saw with this problem was so bad that the scope visibly angled off to the left and looked terrible so we installed the Windage adjustable mounts, zeroed the Windage in the scope, and then zeroed the rifle with the scope base and it look and shot great and saved all if the internal adjustments in the scope J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
