I purchased a FN PBR last week with the 2 piece scope bases. I almost ran out of adjustment on my scope trying to boresight it. I put a strait edge on the front rail and noticed that the rear base sits lower than the front rail. Is this normal for this gun? Thanks.

I wouldn't think so but I'm not sure. I had a PBR for a while with a factory base that worked fine. Mine came with a one piece. You might want to try an aftermarket base or contact FN (I've heard good and bad stories about CS) and ask.

Thanks. I didn't think so either. I tried CS the other day 3 times with no answer. I haven't had much luck finding an aftermarket one yet either. Will Winchester 70 mounts fit the PBR?

I think so but do some checking just to makes sure. I had to sell mine to pay some bills and didn't buy any aftermarket items for it. My original plan had been to swap out the stock, trigger job, bed it, etc. but never got the chance.
