To small as in #6s not #8s? I would call the base manufacturer. My Ken Farrell base has rounded screws that match the bottom of the base hole(cupped) You may have the same issue, dont know...

Sounds like you have the standard rail with #6 screws and your action is tapped for #8 screws. Places like Brownells will have #8 screws for bases. But I'm almost sure your base would have to be machined to fit the larger screws. If that's the case, you might do better selling your rail and getting one already setup from the factory with #8's.

Check Brownells or Midway. Common sizes are 6-48, 8-40 in Fillister head and oval head.

Pachmayr has a box O'screws that covers most size and length requirements.

There are at least 2 scope ring screws under my workbench somewhere, and a couple of springs as well. That spot is like the Bermuda triangle.
