Adding a shim inside the scope rings

[Larryjk]

I would prefer to shim the base rather than the rings because youare putting the scope in a bind if you shim the rings. I don't understand why the Leupold bases and rings don't line up perfectly on a Rem 700. It would be interesting to see if the bases would be correct on a different Rem 700 action. There are so many current Remington recall notices out that I am beginning to shy away from them.
