Has anyone on this forum machined some cant into two piece rings?
Hi, just wondering if anyone on this forum had ever machined some cant into two piece rings?
I wish to do this on some Talley two piece rings for a rem700. About 15MOA would be perfect. I can work out the amount that needs removing etc, just more curious about how it turned out?
I'm thinking of mouting the rings to a rifle, then fixing a 1" bar in place of the scope - with holes drilled through it to allow me to access the screw holes to then remove the rings from the rifle, but still attached to the bar. This in Turn would go in the mill where the machined angle would be step cut.
Epoxy would then be used to bed the step cut rings back onto the rifle and infill any of my machining sins.
Or am I barking mad??? Please save me heart ache and tell me if you've traveled this road already and how you did it...and what result you achieved, and if you learnt anything you'd do different?
Thanks in advance
Kim

Thickness of material removed will be determined by distance between your rings and moa required.
purchase feeler gauges from supercheap and use them as shim material under the rear ring base, tiny bit of trial and error gets you there.
Try ten thou first, and once you have the right amount of shim thickness under the rear ring mount you can either leave it there, or remove it, and mill that amount from under your front ring base.
Then fit the rings back onto your rifle and lap them full width, as you will need to change their horizontal angle for the now slightly angled scope.
Feeler gauge set from supercheap are $6 from memory.
Very practical way of finding the right amount.
