[QUOTE="B Gordon, post: 2318350, member: 29719"] It is real common for Remington actions to have the scope base holes drilled and tapped out of center with the bore. The most usable fix I have found is this Leupold base. [url]http://www.leupold.com/hunting-shooting/mounting-systems/std-mounting-systems/std-remington-700-rh-la-1-pc/[/url] Notice that the rear of the mount has two screws that allow the scope to be rotated horizontally in order to zero the scope and have even windage adjustment. It is very strong, particularly if you loctite the two screws after you have gotten a good 100 yard zero. The front mount has a dovetail that holds the scope very solidly. The correct way to utilize them is to center up the windage adjustment in the scope before mounting it on the rifle. Once you mount the scope and rings on the base you can visually get it close by mounting the rifle to something pretty solid, either a vise or front and rear supports that hold the rifle tightly but allow you to look down the bore (after removing the bolt). Basically, bore sight the scope using the two screws on the base to move the scope and rings right or left till it is well centered. Take it to the range and fine tune using the same method of adjusting the two base screws until the scope and rifle are centered. You should be able to get windage to within 6" of center with this method. Once you are reasonably close put some loctite on the screw threads and finish zeroing the rifle utilizing the normal scope adjustment knob. [/QUOTE]
