    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.

    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?

    @DPT Cheers mate, that's what I thought also , the rear round part making it look worse. If you draw a red line on the top of the mount you will notice a similar angle.

    I've emailed them with a pic, will see what they say.
