|
I have an old Remington 722, chambered in a .222 Rem. I bought it second hand, and I noticed that the rear portion of the receiver is not level with the front portion of the scope mounting screw holes. Is this the way they're built? Or is this paticular gun a defect?

No the rear base is thinner.

If I'm remembering correctly, one piece bases for the 722 actually came with a shim that was meant to fit between the receiver and the base to level the base. Otherwise, two-piece bases were taller for the rear than the front.

The biggest problem with a closed mind is that it never seems to come with a closed mouth.
