    Rifle Scopes What height rings -- 56mm Ojective and 45 MOA base

    Pardon me, I know I asked this before, but damn if I can find it... What size Badger rings (or other brands if that is your experience) do you need with a 56mm objective lens scope and a 45 MOA base in order for the objective to clear the barrel (big fat barrel). Anyone with actual or even...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a scope base made for SSG69?

    Short of drilling and tapping is anyone aware of a 20MOA scope base for a SSG69? While on the topic (I just spent an hour on the Leupold discussion) is there a good 1" mildot scope that has enough elevation to satisfy 300-1000 BR? Thanks 44

    Rifle Scopes Torque wrench for base screws, rings...?

    Well, i also just realized that I don't ahve a torque wrench that goes down to 20 in/lbs, lowest I have is 25 in/lbs. So, how critical is it that I use a torque wrench for the base. I obviously don't want to overtorque, but I don't want to undertorque it either, and what about the rings...

    Rifle Scopes Remove bedding from receiver to mount new base?

    Well, I just got my EGW base and removed the old 2 piece base. It apperas there is some sort of bedding compound put there by the guys at Dick's when they mounted the scope there.

    Gunsmithing Scope base screws not straight

    I really may be screwed but I thought I'd throw this out for some ideas. I thought I saw this come up a year or so ago, but couldn't find it in the search, or was using the wrong keywords. Problem, I have a 700 in .223 I bought, had barreled and set it in a McM stock I had laying around...

    I am looking for SA & LA Rem 700 scope base hole locations. I'd like to find someone who has a spec sheet on them if at all possible, something official looking would be even better. Thanks for your help!

    Rifle Scopes 50 MOA internal adjustment + 20 MOA base?

    With a scope with 50 MOA internal adjustment (specifically, I'm loking at the Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14), that gives +/- 25 MOA from “center”, right? Assuming a 100-yard zero requires ~4 MOA (3.935, according to JBM) that would leave me 21 MOA of drop compensation before the scope bottoms out...

    I have a Model 93 and it came with a 2 piece weaver style base. Do 1 piece bases exist for it? I tried looking on Grafs and MIdway but didn't see anything.

    Well, I ordered the Wotac. Now I need rings and want to get the right height Burris, either medium or low. But I am not sure of the height of my base. Is there any way to measure how high they are to see what MOA? Also, it is a 2 piece and it is marked L36 in the rear and L46 in the front. I...

    77/22 Base

    I am looking at my 77/22 and I have this B-Square weaver base adapter. The thing is, its solid, but still just looks awefully tall with it on there. I was wondering how hard is it for a smith to mill off the ring mounts and then tap some base holes in it ? I'm wondering then which base it...

    Gunsmithing Base mount screws too long - how can I cut them?

    Finally mounting up the Ken Farrell 20MOA base and putting the Falcon Menace on my Savage 110. I found lots of good advice here via the search and FAQ on leveling and everything, but I can't find any info on how to fix my issue, which is this: When I torque the base mount screws, they bind the...

    I'm looking for a base (0moa or 15moa) and rings for my brand new Savage 12 LRPV. I'm going to install a Zeiss conquest 4.5-14X50 on it. I looked at TPS and Ken Farrell (will probably go with TPS for the moment), but I'm having a hard time finding out wich base fits it (one piece)... I'm also...

    1 piece base for a 504???

    I have settled on a 504 for my rimfire and during the research I see that they can be a hit or miss with accuracy so I am going to go ahead and get the Lilja drop in kit. I am having problems finding a one piece base for the receiver. Is there any any such critter available or at least one that...

    Savage MKII-FV + Night-Force 20moa base?

    I have a Savage MKII-FV (read heavy barrel) in .22cal. It currently has the factory 2-piece base mounted on it. I have a Night-Force 20 MOA Base laying around that I would like to put on it. Will it bolt straight up or is it going to need to be fitted by a gunsmith? Thanks in advance.

    Gunsmithing Scope base + loctite question

    Noob mistake on my part last week. Followed Badgers instructions and used some loctite on the base and screws. Ended up having to take everything apart early yesterday and was left with a bit of loctite residue on the base and receiver. Got most of it off though. Reinstalled with BLUE loctite...
