So, I do a lot of testing stuff...... and, because life is short I try do as many tests at once as I can 
In this go-round I'm testing 338's set up for 300gr bullets. I'm using 5 platforms to test the 338L, 338RUM, 338 EDGE and "Edge" (3 different throat designs" , 338-378, and my proven variant the 338 McCallum. I rotate them thru a regimen of stocks, AND thru a regiment of tuners.
My project today is a mechanical tension tuning device.
Due to the fact that I'm switching stuff around endlessly I have to bend my rules a bunch. For instance, I typically use one-piece picatinny bases forevermore epoxied onto the actions so they don't (hopefully) move. (I test this by occasionally taking off the scopes, pulling the screws and seeing if it's shot loose.....maybe even firing the rifle with the base screws removed) I've never had an epoxied Stiller shoot loose.
Soooo, I'm fitting a scope to this gun and it needs to be removable so's I can swap barrels....... And I thought, "I know, I'll use cheapo two-piece bases and just screw 'em down! See if they rip right off the gun!" (This pertickler rifle KICKS!!)
THEN I thought......"heck, I'll bolt a scope-checker to the flimsy 6-48 two-piece base setup.... see if THAT will rip it off!"
And THEN I took it one step further........ "I've never done 3 before!"...... this scope checker is set up so's I can bolt either a 1" tube or a 30mm tube.... OR BOTH I guess!
