So I got one of these for my Winchester Model 70 Long Action and mounted it up...turns out the screws for the rear mounting holes were a tad bit long and were turned into my brand new cerakote job on my bolt.... might be standard procedure to take the bolt out and check things like this, but I did not think about it until after the fact... (just happy I checked before mounting the scope)after a quick job with the dremil tool all is well other than the two round marks on my bolt.....just thought I would give a heads up to anyone who might be mounting there own bases and not know any better.
Oh ya it was the HD model. Edited by GetSome - September/12/2010 at 14:27 |

EGW HD bases are .100'' lower than their regular bases.
Apparently the same length screws are supplied with both bases. I always pull the bolt when I mount bases, but I don't have a reason as to why I do. I also always run a tap through all holes before I start any screws. Again, I don't have a real reason as to why I do this. Must be because of my machining background. But I will keep your results on my mind for future reference. I just finished mounting one of their HD base on my Rem 1100. The receiver is thin on the top, so I had to shorten 2 of the supplied screws. |
