Took everything to the "knowledgeable" shop. I guess 20moa rails are only compatible with 20moa rings.
Mine are "30moa" rings. According to the 30 stamped on the rings next to the screw holes for the cap.
Some people's kids
Isn't that 30 for 30 mm scope tube not 30 MOA? Didn't thinks Seekins had MOA rings.
The 30 stamped on the rings is to denote scope tube diameter. 30mm tube
order up a new Seekins 20 moa rail & mount them Seekins 30's on it.

YIKES!!!! Take HuntnPack's advice. Don't think you'll be disappointed.Took everything to the "knowledgeable" shop. I guess 20moa rails are only compatible with 20moa rings.

I guess Im at a loss for words-- why would you pack up your rifle, rings, rail, spend $ and time to drive to the nearest gunsmith to have him spew some wonderfully incorrect information to you when you can just pick up the phone and make a phone call or 2 to see if there is a known problem or solution from the manufactures?
well at least you found out what "gunsmith" to never go back to again.

I already called. Leaving a message to seekins and CA gives me no answers to my problem

ok, glad you have at least made the call--hope its gets figured out for you
Yea ive been to a few different gun shops aswell. Coincidently enough nobody has rings or bases in stock.
Cabelas does. All cheap stuff. But they wouldn't let me open a package to check if my rings or bases were out of spec.
I did however just track down weaver rings and they tightened down on the base. The guy said they were picatinny rings...not weaver style rings. They are just weaver brand

Maybe measure your rail with calipers? I think someone posted the correct dimensions earlier in the thread.
I am going through the same issue. Went to mount a scope on a Tuebor action, with one of their rails.
Vortex rings.
Will not tighten down. Measured the Tuebor rail and compared it to a NF rail on another gun. The Tuebor is .025 narrower.
