Having trouble mounting scope base
I just picked up my first Savage rifle yesterday, a model 12 LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor. I picked up an EGW 20moa base and when I went to install it, there seems to be metal in the first (most forward) screw hole. The screw in that hole only goes about halfway compared to the other three screws. Has anyone seen this? I contacted EGW and they had me measure all the screws and base with a caliber and confirmed that all their measurements are to their specs. I also confirmed with them that I had the correct base. I attached photos as well.

Or maybe Savage Shooters are used to just making the fix and move on! :-)
Part two would be the correct call from my experience. I've heard Savages called Lego guns more than once. Then I see that Lego outshoot most on the line. Makes me happy.
Good luck Stag556. Your in good hands here.
