[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1559815, member: 35183"] Take the action out of stock, set it up on V blocks so receiver is horizontal and verify whether the scope rail is parallel to receiver left to right. If it is parallel, then it suggests that either the barrel is bent or barrel tenon was not faced perpendicular to the bore or the receiver was not faced/threaded perpendicular to the axis of the action. Then a discussion with the manufacturer can commence or if out of warranty / no customer support you would have to find someone to blueprint the action/barrel. If only the rail mounting holes are off, it may be possible to relocate the holes some distance or enlarge them so that they are properly on axis to hold the rail on straight. [/QUOTE]
