Well finally got moved and have had a little time here and there to get this project back up and moving again!

So far, I have pillar bedded the stock, bedded the receiver, and bedded the recoil lug, and finally got my Savage 110 LA ACC in 7mm tapered barrel mounted with a 1 piece Weaver Tactical 99493 base with 0 MOA.

I properly bedded, both front and back on the base doing one side at a time, and bedded the integrated recoil lug to ensure full contact. I had to remove some media on the base so that it would sit only on the receiver (it was hanging over onto the guns recoil lug). I also removed just a little on the back side so to ensure that the bolt would not hit it when fully locked.

So now the moment of truth!!! I finally install the new Burris Xtreme Tactical XTR Rings in High and just place my Nikon Monarch 4-16x50 Side Focus 8439 on top of the set up. I stand back and look; the thing is WAY up in the air! Now I didn't get out the tape and actually measure how high the thing is above the barrel it is because I was just pissed off.

All I wanted to mount it as low as I could with about 1/4 inch of clearance for a good set of lens caps. I did all the home work and still came up short changed! I did email Weaver and ask the height of their 99493 base which they came back at .386 inches. I paired that up with the .75 inches on the rings and came up 1.136 inches of lift. Now with a 50mm objection lens with an OD of 57.3mm I divided that in half and come up with 1.1279528 inches of lift needed. Well the 1.136 inches was enough, and then couple that with the tapered barrel I should have had enough room for a set of lens covers, right?

What the heck went wrong with my math????
