Take off the scope, rings and bases, then re-install the base screws but leave them sticking up out of the action. Now take a metal yard stick and put it up against the screws.
Do all 4 screws contact the yard stick?
Does the edge of the yard stick get closer to or further away from the centerline of the barrel as you go down it's length?
If the answer to either question is yes then you need to send it back to Savage as either the receiver is excessively warped, the holes were drilled and tapped out of line, or the barrel to action alignment is off and not square.
