Thanks for the advice guys. I will try bedding it and see how it goes. Also found loss of information on how to torque the screws down.

I have another question: Can you tell what kind of mounts and rings these are? I'm not well versed in various mounts and don't see a brand name exposed.
The bases seem kind of odd to me in that they over hang forward but then the rings are set back. At least on the front base.
The scope is a Leupold VX-II 3-9x50mm.[Linked Image]
