I have mounted many scopes on pre drilled rifles but I have not drilled holes in barrels/receivers. What’s’ the best way to do this?
The Forester fixture looks like a good tool to avoid errors. I have a large Craftsman bench mount drill press. Of course it’s made in China. I thought a “mill table” for the drill press & the Forester fixture might be a workable combination.
The Forester fixture is great and I use it often. You really don’t NEED the mill table but it is nice. So if you want get those things and I really recommend the Forester fixture.

Thanks for the advice. One more thing on this subject; do you have a recommendation of brands/types of drill bits?
Answer:
We get the high speed drills from Brownell’s and as they break or dull we sharpen them ourselves. I do have a few of the carbide #31 drills as well.
