I may do that one of these days. Anyone check out the thread depth of the front 2 scope base holes on a Browning X-Bolt receiver. You have about 2 usable threads on those 2 screws. Recommended torque on those 2 front screws is 10 inch pounds, not much. If you used a smaller than tap drill size centering bit first, going less than .2" deep, followed by a tap drill, you should be fine, Then tap the threads all the way to the bottom of the holes. With the X-Bolt scope base holes being on the sides of the receiver you would not get too close to the chamber. RJ
