Not happy
So before I start Farrell did offer to fix this. I was looking for a base for my 700 Remington SPS in 223. I have other bases on my other 700 Remingtons but I wanted something a little easier to slip rounds into the chamber. So I saw this base and it was a little taller giving me just a little more room to slip a round in. Plus the big thing all the screws are the same size. No long one here or short one there all the same size. So the day I got my new base off to install it. No big deal all the screws are the same. Test fit and the screws are sticking up. Same size screws? Well grind a thread or two off and the screw is still sticking up. Head scratcher? Why are the screws sticking up? Take a another thread off. Same thing still up. One more thread I think should do it. Well of course I lost the screw. Great now I have to order new screws. Order the screws and a few days latter a package with new screws is here. Now I check the screws and they are the same length as the ones I had. Well let us give them a try. I screw them in and they are flush. OK what is going on? I look at the screws again. They are the same length. But the counter sink on the screws are not the same. My screws had a ridge on them causing them to stick up. The new screws had no ridge on them allowing them to sit flush in the counter sink properly. So in the end I had to buy new screws for a new base to get this to work. The others guy base is back on my rifle. It worked the first time. And this will go back to brownells thanks to the warranty they have. With the new screws I had to buy to make it work.
Railroad spike
This is a very nice rail,the machining and fit was perfect on my Rem.700, however, it is stupid tall, this thing is over half inch thick and weighs over a pound. With a 40mm scope the objective bell has over 3/8" gap to the top of barrel with the lowest rings I could find. The pictures are deceiving.
