I recently picked up an old Savage 110 flat back in .270, and I somehow did not realize how twisted the back of the action was until I tried to mount an EGW one-piece 20 MOA rail (attached loosely with two front screws in picture below). The back is so twisted that I could not even get the rear screws all the way in. I assume that I will need to bed the rail (I've never done this, but I know there are posts about how to do it). My main question is: How do I secure it? Both front screws seem to fit fine. I don't mind permanently attaching the rail (unless anyone has a reason not to). Do I bed it and not use any release agent, securing just the front with screws?

My goal for the rifle in the near term is to be a hunting rifle, but I bought it with the intention of changing calibers and stocks down the road and getting into practical rifle/long distance (>600 yards). This is my first post, so if I messed something up, please let me know. Thanks for the help.
