Forgive me, I am new to the bolt-gun game so bear with me on my question.
In looking at all the posts regarding bedding scope bases, has anyone ever taken a couple thousandths off the "high" side of the base to get it in alignment to the receiver, instead of the whole bedding process? Seems to me this would be just as stress-free, unless this would change the MOA of the base possibly?
Looking at it, I would rather have metal-metal contact than metal-epoxy-metal contact, or am I way off base here? Seems counter-intuitive to in essence "shim" the base.
Thanks for the schooling here, BTW. I have learned an enormous amount from you guys.
