[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1100745, member: 35183"] Savage axis / model 11 model 111 there have been numerous reports of either the base holes being misaligned on the action, or the barrel threads / action face being non perpendicular to action centerline. If you have a good quality straight edge 3 ft long or so, you might try resting it on each side of the action (left and right) and seeing how much clearance there is to the muzzle and if it is even on both sides. If the muzzle is clearly off relative to the action, take the scope off and send the rifle back to Savage to fix. They will put it in a press and bend the barrel (no joke) or they may just send you a replacement.
