Rifle Scopes Did I get lucky and not need to bed this mount, or should I do it anyway?

[Leozinho]

I've got a Savage 110 and am mounting an EGW 20 MOA base.

I placed it on the receiver, and pressed on the front. Tapped on the base. It's not raised and appears to be making solid contact. I snugged the front two screws down, and tapped and otherwise prodded the rear. No discernible gap at the rear.

Did I just get lucky and happen to get one that was perfectly trued? Or am I missing something and just not noticing the play that's inevitably there and should bed the rear anyway? (It's a rounded receiver, so I wouldn't be able to see daylight unless there was a significant gap.)

Thanks.

Proper bedding is never a bad idea but it sounds like the stars have aligned for you.
Torque it down and drop a straight edge on it. If the rail it tight to the action and absolutely flat, I wouldnt worry about bedding it.
