[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 2252402, member: 37460"] It’s usually not the base or rings that create the issue. It’s usually the action not being completely true/level from the front mount area to the rear mount area. This is very common on Savage, Remmy, and other factory rifles. When you mount the rail on your factory action it’s easy to check this multiple ways. I just finished a 300PRC build not too long ago and used a Nightforce base and rings. The rail was perfectly level off the rifle but when mounted and torqued the rail had a bow to it from the action not being level/true. Not good for a scope to be mounted in this. We bedded the rail and it solved the issue. I then bedded the rings as well just to be sure. You can check easily with a straight edge by checking rail before mounted and after mounted. You can also place the rail in the area to be mounted and push down on it and see if it rocks at all from front to rear. I also had the same issue with a Savage 116 6.5-284. [/QUOTE]
