Should you have any questions regarding our products please e-mail us at rbn@nearmfg.com or call us at 1-866-608-2441 or (780) 608-2441. We welcome the opportunity to answer any questions you may have and discuss your particular needs. The most common question concerning our base is "Do I need to have my rifle modified to use 8x40 screws?" We suggest that if your rifle has factory 6x48 scope mounting holes that 6x48's are very adequate. In the fall of 2001 a government ER Team vehicle rolled over and in the process a Litton 6x night scope was crushed and destroyed. The rifle barrel had been rammed into the soil up to the fiberglass stock. Even though the stock was gouged and the scope was torn completely off, our base remained secure to the M70 rifle with only 4 of 6x48 screws. The rifle was sent to the armoury shop, cleaned, inspected and had it's day scope bolted on. Upon test firing, the rifle shot to zero and was returned to service. Our Winchester , Remington and Weatherby bases all have an integral recoil shoulder that reduces the shear stress on the mounting screws. We are confident that 6x48 screws are very adequate. Our bases are engineered to accept both 6x48 and 8x40 screws. It remains the customers choice to use what they have confidence with. Orders are tailored to match your rifle and optics. Call or e-mail
us today and tell us what you need. We guarantee that once you have
our base in your hands, you will know you have made the right choice. Superior
