[QUOTE="Brad615, post: 643664, member: 46747"] Hi, I'm also new to this forum so here it goes. This past feb I purchased the savage model 111 long range hunter in a 7mm rem mag. I did alot of reserach before deciding to purchase a savage, and was impressed with the gun when I received it. Then the nightmare began, first off I went through a few quality scopes & probably 3 different bases/rings to find out that the holes on the receiver that were drilled by savage were mis-aligned! This includes the one piece talley's, and the leupold prw rings! I called savage which told me to return it for them to look into it. I did some reserach & pretty much found out that they would only correct or replace if windage adjustable rings couldn't solve the problem! I happened to have a set of windage adjustable rings, so I installed them & that did solve my problem of the scope running out of adjustment to the left! I also had the same issue that has been mentioned on this forum of the stock hitting the so called free floating barrel! I also had to have that corrected by a good friend of mine who is also loading my berger bullets. The gun is finally cutting hole's at a 100 yards using 180 grain bergers which I am very happy about!
