Model 93 FVSS .22 Magnum Problem

[MikeMc.]

I bought my son a new Savage model 93 FVSS .22 Magnum last Christmas and it would not group well. I sent it back and Savage agreed that it didn’t group like it should so they opted to re-barrel it . 5 months later I got it back because their barrel plant had been shut down for COVID . They sent test targets to show that it groups well but I can’t get a scope to zero now...... not enough elevation adjustment . The scope worked fine with the other barrel, the gun just wouldn’t group. I tried to boresight it with a grid style boresight and it will not sight in, not enough adjustment . I tried different mounts, different scope, shims , and nothing seems to work. Is the barrel on slightly tilted or something????? Is my new gun now junk?? Help me out here if ya can. I have emailed Savage again but haven’t heard from them yet. ....Do you think they will help me again ???..... very disappointed

Are both of your scope rings the same height?
Have you tried switching them to see if any difference?
I had a similar problem years ago and the issue was difference in height between front and rear rings. Switched them around and problem was solved.

Turns out that the new barrel was bent .127 . A custom rifle maker straightened it for me and now all is good.
