[QUOTE="MachV, post: 698936, member: 93"] There really should be a sticky for this. Its a Savage! The actions tend to not be straight, The barrels not bored straight and the threads are not true to the bent action and/or the off center/bent bore. I've got one Savage out of a couple dozen that lines up with the scope=only one! Bruce_ventura gave some great advise but I'll add a couple more solutuons to the problem but be warned I use to milk cows for a liveing. The Burris Z rings are great if you can find them! My favorite and easiest fix is to put on an IOR or Sightron fixed power scope in 16-20x that has LOT of adjustment=80- 150 MOAs worth. The NF br scopes are great scopes but lack much adjustment! Leupold makes a one piece base that has windage adjustments in the rear that can get you lined up too but you usually end up shimming the back to get the ellivation required. A couple of my red-neck fixes infolves setting the headspace to the die wich may or may not help the scope alianment? The other quick fix is putting a piece of shim on the rear ring to push the scope into alienment but unless you lap the rings afterwards its going to bend the scope and/or put some nasty ring marks on it. Or you could send it to Fred and have him true everything up but your going to wait a long time and have just as much into it as a custom. [/QUOTE]
