[QUOTE="Senderofan, post: 1080815, member: 13831"] You might be experiencing a quality control issue from Remington. There are rifles, from different manufacturers, that get released for sale....with scope base holes drilled and tapped off center line of what would be the bore. I think the accepted tolerances vary.....and most are adjusted for by the internal adjustment of the scope. If it's something that bothers you....or impacts the performance of the rifle....I'd recommend taking it to a qualified gunsmith and have them fix it for you. Otherwise.....if it doesn't impact the performance....guess I'd just try and ignore it. Your experience, among other issues with mass produced rifles, is why there is a very large market for custom actions. Custom actions generally have very tight tolerances and everything is in alignment. I'm still living with my Remington's.....and a few Savages.....haven't been able to afford a true custom action but have looked several over. Worth serious consideration after paying to have the Remington's accurized. Good Luck, Wayne [/QUOTE]
