They’re smaller than the scope base holes, I am trying to mount a Rem 700 base.

Just hope I didn’t cross thread anything? Wouldn’t it be hard to cross thread by hand?

Yes you can cross thread by hand. If it feels like it's jamming don't force it. It can either cross thread or break. We'll not go into how I know this. :oops:
