[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 640530, member: 39764"] I think it's the rail or at least start with that. EGW has had issues with their rails in the past (so I've been told). EGW supplies all of the rails and brakes to Savage BTW. I'm running the same setup on a 11-111 LRH with no issues. Pull the rail and mike the back end (at the end) and the front end (at the end). at 20 MOA there should be an appreciable 0.015-0.020 difference between the rear and front. Per chance are the rings canted as well? I'm not familiar with EGW rings, I use Warne. You need to check the rail to chamber mounting screws anyway. Mine came with 2 screws tight and 2 loose and no threadlocker at all. Took the rail off, cleaned the mating surfaces and reinstalled using threadlocker and a torque wrench BTW. You want the objective to ride as close to the barrel as possible. My objective is less than 1/8" above the barrel and the ocular to bolt handle is close but not uncomfortably close. [/QUOTE]
