Screws Too Short

The scope base is well made. However the included screws are too short. The screws for the two rear holes would not even clear the base. I have two of the 20 MOA models of this base (080-000-761) and the holes in those are countersunk enough for the screws to engage the 8-40 threads in the action. Either this base's holes need to be countersunk deeper for the screw heads, or longer 8-40 screws needs to be included. I will now have to spend more money to buy 1/2" long 8-40 screws (080-924-847) and shorten them slightly to install this base on my rifle
