Has anyone on this forum machined some cant into two piece rings?

I can't see how you can significantly "cant" normal rings by simply shimming one end. You will end up with misaligned rings that will chew into the scope tube. If you lap them with a round bar, the contact area will be quite reduced.

If a tapered base isn't possible, why not just use Burris Signature rings and build the required slope in with the variable liners?

Optiloks, burris etc have the swivel inserts which take care of the misalignment issues. Ideally my thoughts are to machine in the 15MOA with the rings attached to a bar which would lock in the correct spacing, the rings would then go back on the rifle with this spacing and cant looked in i.e. the entire process done on the bar. Just thinking out loud.

I'm not a fan a rails, as cheek weld becomes an issue as the scope height stats getting to high for my liking.
