Screws
Previous review is correct, People often buy NightForce to mount on heavy recoiling long range rifles. (like my Remington in .338 Lapua) These rifles will often have 8 X 40 mount screws but this base is machined for a lighter screw. You will have to re-drill/machine this base to use it on a heavy recoiling rifle with 8 X 40 mounting holes

A+ if rifle tapped for right screw
This base is designed to never move once mounted. Just make sure your rifle isn't tapped for 8X40 screws like a lot of magnums are. The reason I say this is because you'll be redrilling the mount out and finding larger screws to fit like I am. If Nightforce would tell you the screw size, I never would have ordered this mount for my 300RUM custom made rifle.
