I have discovered that my scope rail is not square to my receiver.
Provided I find out that the problem is NOT a warped base but that the receiver holes are drilled at an angle, how is this issue normally resolved?
Can the same holes be fixed allowing me to continue using 6-48 screws for the base?
Or, are larger holes drilled facilitating the use of larger 8-40 screws?

If your rifle was tapped at the factory, then they will most likely take your rifle apart and put it back together with a new receiver. Same old barrel stock etc.
Depending on how far off the holes are, a gunsmith could either mill them out to 8-40 or if the holes are off too far, he'll ask you if you want new holes that will require the rail to also be re-drilled for the new holes.
I heard of people using epoxy under rails but I would not go that route personally.
Is yours off this much? http://www.savageshooters.com/showth...for-stock-help
He used JB Weild to bed/shim his base. Quite a interesting story in a earlier post.
It could be that the holes in the base are off center.
That is what I am hoping. I want to upgrade to a 20moa base anyway so hopefully that will be the fix.Quote:

Thank god no. You can't see it. When installing my scope I noticed that the rail was canted/ not level on the front end while the back is level and square to the receiver and rest of the rifle.. Drives me nuts.Quote:

Just bed the rail and be done with it.
