Have a flat back LA I bought off a member here. Good deal on the action but unknown history. Previously a magnum action and it was the dirtiest action I have ever bought. The Firing pin assembly was way out of spec so dont know what happened there except somebody monkeying with it that did not know what they were doing..

Just mounted a new EGW 20d base on it and I was setting it up to mount a scope with a digital level and the difference between the front and the back of the scope base is about 0.4 degrees twisted. IE if I set the back at 0 d the front is at 0.4 degrees.

Is this normal for savage flat backs ??

I am not sure if the action is twisted but it cycles about like any other savage.

I am also thinking I could have a bad scope base ??

Would a T+T fix this if its not the base ??
