    Poor QC yeah or nah?

    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?

    .002" fatter on the right.

    Might just be me being anal


    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.

    Easy to solve Timmay. .002" shim under the left hand side. Ha ha ha ha.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
