I personally own a Winchester M70SA in 7WSM that if you center the windage adjustment and use leupold windage bases the windage adjustment is around 1/8" off center. I have a good friend who just bought a brand new M70LA in 264WM. His one piece base and wings would not allow the rifle tozero windage on initial sight in. The windage adjustment bottomed out. After a few scopes and a couple one piece bases he opted for the leupold windage bases and found the same thing my rifle has.
Does anyone have experience with this? My buddies scope is a brand new huskemaw and mine is a vortex. Is this a barrel alignment problem? To look at the action it would be obvious if the scope mount was off center that far and my naked eye cannot see any discrepancies. What should we look at? Once set up they act like a normal rifle, nothing weird about how they shoot.
