that's great that way sounds a little bubba but it works. if u go to a weaver style base i got 1 inch low weaver grand slam rings u can have they would be good for your 2x7.Ha... I just got the base off. I took troy's advise and it worked great. Heated up the base with a heat gun and pounded in a torx bit.. no problem.
I'm diffinately on the hunt for new base and rings. Here's a pic of the rifle aux natural.
