Anyone with a descent mill that knows how to use it can do it. Kobe has one and knows mod 70s and can probably do it with his eyes closed. All you need to do is shave the bottom of the medium ones down with a boring head or fly cutter. As long as you know the radiuses you are good to go. If you can wait a few month I will be happy to do it for you.

Be sure and tell us how much money you spend splitting a tenth of an inch difference, so we'll be suitably impressed.

The problem with cutting down talleys is that the counterbores are cut rather deep on all the base heights, therefore do not leave much metal under the screw heads to allow adjustment very much. Must be to allow standard length screws on all the bases.

It will bug me to no end along with specing the barrel too heavy for what I wanted to achieve so it will all be cured by another barrel in the end. I , like most everyone else here needs another rifle not at all. I'm buying and building rifles for pleasure so if it doesn't please me then it's useless.

Dave
Have you tried any other brand of base/ring that might work. S&K comes to mind as does Conetrol if you want to mount them really low. Just a thought

Well he could pull the barrel and have it turned to get the clearance needed,But that would leave a gap in the bedding so a new stock would be required to fix the gap problem!

Opt the taller set,install BC flip-ups and neck down 300 Whizzum Virgins and headspace the false shoulder.
Enjoyed the "debacles" and appreciate the humor.
Good laugh!.............

With JeffO's "earlobe weld" he will have to switch to highs, though...
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Well , I'm going to see about a slight re contour of the shoulder area. It will kill to birds with one stone . I will be able to uselows and I won't have to grind a 1/2" of straight shank out of the barrel channel. It will still bug me I miss specified the barrel contour to begin with but it will mitigate the problem. Live and learn.
