Today I had to retap the scope base holes in a stainless steel 700. They needed to be for 8-40 screws. Does anyone have any easier way to do this?
I was very unhappy doing this. The action evidently has been hardened somewhat. (I didn't think they were.) They drilled extremely hard and tapping them was scary. I got it done, but I went no deeper with the tap than I had to.
