    Gunsmithing Finished my scope base...

    I finally got my 1-piece base machined. I wouldn't actually say it was finished since I still need to put a finish on it. It took me 2 tries on making it. The the double angle tool I ground was oversized and forgot to compensate for it. So the first one's rails were not to spec. I...

    Gunsmithing Bedded my first scope base today

    Well, I went to mount a scope to my Remington 700 today and I used the indicating rods to check the alignment of the two piece Leupold base and rings. I dialed in the "windage" but realized that the rear rod was much lower than the front. So I clamped a 1" rod in the rings and isolated the...

    Gunsmithing Old Remington 700 Scope Base Prob

    I have a 700 action that has no alphabetic prefix. When I put a Picatinny or Leupold one-piece base on it, the base flexes. It does not make contact with the front of the receiver when I tighten the rear base. I am making the assumption that this is one of the actions that needs a base...

    I've bought a Nightforce 12-42X56 Benchrest scope for my new 6.5x47 Lapua F-Class gun. Scope spec'd for 40 MOA elevation range. I'll need about 29 MOA to get to to 1K with a Berger 130 from a 100Y zero. Gun still being built and will have 20 MOA tapered base installed. Just for grins , I...

    Rifle Scopes Recoil lug on a scope base

    Are the lugs on the bases that lock into the open area of the receiver a necessity for the heavy scopes or is it a belt and suspenders approach? Im going to be running the 8x40 screws and have been bedding the last few bases in steel bed to begin with. I have been a fan of the DNZ mounts on the...

    Tapered base for a Rem 541

    Is anyone here using a tapered base for a Remington 541. Currently my rifle is zeroed at 50yds which is also my max elevation. I have a ton of down but no more up and am thinking that an elevated base would get me where I need to be. thanks in advance dgwelsh

    Rifle Scopes Leupold rings on picatinny base?

    Do any of you guys know for certain if the Leupold QRW or PRW rings would fit on a Picatinny rail? Long story why I ask, but it basically involves giving me some flexibility to swap scopes between rifles.

    Rifle Scopes Question on a Badger Base

    I recently purchased a Remington LTR from a forum member with a preinstalled Badger base. Is there any way to determine if it is a 20 MOA base or just standard. I'm new to precision shooting and not familiar with bases in general. Thanks.
