What would be the best technique for dialing up a Remington 700 or a Winchester/FN and making sure the scope base holes are in the correct position and if a customer wanted to use 8/40 screws.

In addition, does anybody have any blueprints with the correct dimensions?

I have used the Forester fixture before, but what about just making a fixture to hold the actions level and using a Milling machine alone and just going that route?

Anybody have pictures or ideas?
