[QUOTE="apache sniper, post: 694880, member: 48168"] The fact of the matter is this. Typically 90% or so of "adjustable bases" are unable to withstand the pounding of a high powered rifle. The 2112's (Marine armorer's) of My era built a few that worked but chicken s**t regulations implemented a few years later forbade the use of "adjustable mounts" and regulations dictated that ONLY the m40 system would be allowed with one universal mount for all. It's too bad too, many of those 2112's could take an old shot to rattling win 70 and make it into a super match rifle in a couple of days. Personally I prefer the 300 win, the o6 , the 338 and the 50 for long range work. Gunny Hathcock proved the effectiveness of the O6 at 1400 to 1800 yards. The idea being that all of the other aforementioned calibers will shoot further. Almost all sniper weapons from the latter part of Nam to present day had adjustable cheek pieces and adjustable triggers. Considering that they shoot from 500 to 2500 yards and even beyond ....that should tell the story right there. If your gonna shoot long range ya gotta have em. Personally I use a lace on cheek piece adjustable from 3/8 to 3 inches. The reason being that I don't like plugging holes and I love the nostalgia, and beauty of wood stocks. Be that as it may all of my rifles will have adjustable cheek pieces, adjustable Timney featherweight triggers,and my adjustable bases on em. With the exception of my "ol 45-70 saddle gun. Semper Fi Apache sniper [/QUOTE]
