I received a brand new Savage 10TR for Christmas from a buddy I helped out.
I didn't have time to take it out till recently.
It came with an EGW 0moa base which I installed myself.
I mounted my trusty Bushnell ET 6500 4.5-30 x 50mm with Nightforce steel rings and a box of 175 FGMM and went out to sight it in at 100y.
To make a long story short the rifle shoots 30 MOA low.
I replaced the scope with a Vortex Viper PST 6-24 x 50 FFP still the same.
Replaced the scope base with an EGW 20 MOA base still the same.
Put a few Brownells shims under the rear of the base and was finally able to get on paper with the scope dialed nearly all the way up.
I removed the rifle from the stock to ensure it was properly seated.
I re-torqued everything with the same results.
I have several other savage rifles including a 10BA which have scopes set dead center with no issues.
Am I missing something or should I just send it in.?
PS: the rifle once on paper groups .75 MOA or less.
