Excellent fix! - almost perfect 14/06/2018
I used these in conjunction with the associated tapered tap to fix the scope base screw holes in a Remington 700 receiver. The front two screws from the factory were stripped and would just spin. I had to drive them down through the holes after removing the barrel. The tapered tap did its' job by hand. Used the tap and a 1/8" drill bit on a piece of O-1 steel to allow me to cut and file the screws down to size. The only issue with these screws is the slotted head. My Burris XTR steel scope base calls for 35 in lbs of torque and the little slotted screw head wouldn't hold the bit all of the way to 35 in lbs of torque. A socket head or torx head would do the trick and would have made this solution perfect. Very happy overall though, I recommend this solution for stripped receiver scope base holes.
Excellent!! 06/04/2017
Purchased a 541S at the local gun shop,not realizing three of the four base holes were stripped until trying to mount a base..This kits bottoming tap and the included oversize screws(after shortening to length) saved the day..Worked perfect,worth every penny. Thanks Brownells!
