[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1010574, member: 22069"] Had the same issue with a Remington 700 and took it to a gunsmith. Like the OP, I had used Leupold windage adjustable mounts as a Band-Aid fix, but wanted to mount my scope with a Picatinny rail. I was wondering if the receiver was mis-drilled or if the barrel was that out of square with the receiver. The problem turned out to be much more simple than that. The smith said the mounts were "off" and needed to be machined for proper fit to my receiver. It was an easy and inexpensive fix. My scope is now mounted squarely and securely. I had the same problem with both Remington 700's that I have owned. Never had that problem with any of my other rifles. I guess the OP's issue goes to show that it can happen with any make of rifle.
