This isn't a thread for pointing shitty workman ship out on a public forum. I just want to know if I'm being anal
Just bought a 20moa base for my tikka
I've leveled the action and fitted the base and it didn't quite look right to my eye, it looks on the piss...
Send it back?

100% send it back
Can you get a better end on pic?
Its not designed with cant in it?....tho that looks a lot more than a 3rd of a degree cant.
Sure looks wonky to me, take it off and measure thickness on both sides?
Put it on sideways
.002" fatter on the right.Quote:

Edit. It's definitely cut on the piss at the back end (round part) but the difference in thickness further along is as above .002 thicker on the R/H side.
will help you shoot around corners
Take it off an rotate it 180 and see if its pissed the other way. Then you will know for sure.

Nah can't, it's a 20moa base bro.
farkenhell, you must have ordered the 20 moa sideways rail !
Easy to solve Timmay. .002" shim under the left hand side. Ha ha ha ha.Quote:

Thanks for the "Help" gibo :D
I've leveled the action and the scope (not using the rail) will see how it goes this weekend...
Ah but my text was helpful no? ;)Quote:

Farm that. Not on if you want a one shot kill
Im surprised you could even notice 0.05mm.
It does look very on the piss in the photo but it would seem the curve they put on the back of the rail is not true and that's making things look worse, the part that really matters is from the bottom of the base to the 45degree V's
I have drawn on your picture to put things a bit more in perspective.
We have built a few rails and I know that the curve on the back of the Tikkas is not very "accurate" so its possible they tried to follow that curve the best they could.
They could have just stuffed it up so if I was you id give them a call and see what the story is.
