I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Waiting patiently. Is it too early to preorder?

When I did my set, I ground a dovetail cutter to match the receiver, and cut a small arc out of the rear right side of the front base where it slightly overhung the ejection port. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/FBpl8g7l.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/bX7LbLMl.jpg)

Negative. One pass with a normal endmill, then a pass on each side with the little dovetail cutter. And I hope I didn't step on anybody's toes posting - I'm in Canada, and not interested in doing a bunch of these - nor would I do it near as cheap as you were if I did.

Ain't stepping on my toes....
I think Pop used a 1/4" for the entire deal. His mill was a tabletop Sherline and that's all I know about mills and bits. I could have sold 50+ sets to Canada, but didn't want a visit from the mounted police.
Biggest kick of it all is seeing a midnight idea grow legs....

Here's mine FWIW. Leupy 2,5-8x36, and Talley Low's IIRC. ![[Linked Image]](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t32/JGrimes_2007/Tikka1_zpsc634b7de.jpg)

Curious, were shorter screws needed with the modded ringmounts?

I believe it was the back screw of the front base. Can't remember, but whichever was over the bolt head. The rest were fine.

so, (1) screw has been modded? other (3) are talley factory length? in other words are there (3) screws the same length and (1) shorter to designate going into the back of the front base? thinking about trying this as I usually use a warne base with burris sig zees. they are a lil heavy but don't shift.
thanks,
Big Ed
