I put a new weaver 1913 rail on my m700 .223 last night.
I have a gap bewteen on the back receiver bridge- big whoop- I have plans to bed that tonight.
My problem came when I wanted to check the level of the action to level of the base. evidently there is a good bit of play left/right in the base when the screws aren't tight yet. I found out i had issues with my Wheeler Level-Level-Level... junk... In the end, I'm going to bed the base tonight but making sure it is level to the action!
How important is it that the base to action is perfectly level? In my mind, it's not extremely critical IF you have a level on your scope when shooting so the reticle is always level. Am i way off in my thinking?
