[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2964919, member: 124909"] I tried to mount a scope on an older Savage 110 2 months ago that had the same issue with the scope mounting interphase. The scope lacked enough adjustment to even get it onto the 4 foot target I was using. But to be truthful Savage tends to build an accurate rifle these days. The only original parts left of my 700 308 Varmint I bought 14 years ago are the action, bolt, and barrel. The barrel will be replaced soon. I bought it new in box and cheap. The x mark trigger and Tupperware stock went straight in the trash. I replaced the firing pin, spring, and bolt shroud with Gre-tan parts.. Replaced bottom metal and magazine with a Wyatt's. The original never fed right. Had to lap the bolt lugs as one side was barely making contact. Replaced the trigger with a Geisslee Super 700, and the stock with a B and C with bedding block and bedded it with Devcon. The plus side is with the aftermarket support they are easy to build on and parts are available. The downside is their Quality Control took a huge nose dive years ago. Who knows how their quality will be going forward. My favorite personal out of the box rifle I own is an 80s Winchester Model 70 Sporter in 270. The only thing I've ever done to it is lightened the trigger to 3 pounds. It has been a solid rifle. [/QUOTE]
