[QUOTE="Brent, post: 69101, member: 99"] One piece or two piece base design, makes no difference, if there is ANY reason both bases/rings lean toward each other (warped receiver, machining error etc.) the pointed alignment bars may indicate the ring bores are inline when in fact they both drop at the points. Same if they lean away too. If the pointed bars are tight in the ring bores they will only indicate if they are inline on the horizontal plane not vertical. Verify using a straight edge on the bars, flat or pointed type, but best to lap in ANY case to be sure. Agree with Pete and others though, ditch those for the Picatinny rail/rings combo. [/QUOTE]
