Boy, that sounds expensive!!!

Like Mr F said, the action is probably just slightly warped. Warping could also happen from removing the barrel incorrectly at one time.

I hope you didnt spend a mint at the gunsmith just to end up with a set of rings and bases that are shimmed, cause for about $150 or so, sending it to SSS coulda gotten it straightened along with a time and true job.
