Bergara Rifle Scope Shim........ - 05/08/19
I picked up a new Bergara B-14 Ridge rifle yesterday in 22-250, and in the box there is a plastic zip lock envelope with a rear base scope shim in it.
My question is: Have B-14 owners found it necessary to use the shim to get a "perfect scope base and ring alignment" as the note in the envelope states when scoping the rifle? I have used shims before, but the need has been very limited over the years, so I'm wondering if this is a common characteristic of the Bergara rifles.
I'm planning to use either a standard Rem 700 2-piece Leupold base set (with Burris Signature Z-Ring 30 MM rings) or a Rem 700 Warne 2-piece scope base set (matched up with a set of Burris Signature Z-Ring 1" scope rings) based on scope choice.
TIA...................
