Hello
I recently purchased a Savage 10FCP-SR. I was installing the scope this evening and ran into an issue. I had pulled the scope mount off to clean any oil from underneath and to clean out the mounting holes before reinstalling.
Upon reinstallation I noticed that the front mounting screw would not seat completely. I removed the mount and looked into the hole to see if there was something in there. I noticed that the hole was obstructed by something , possibly a broken tap or other piece of metal.
I ran the screw in and it only had three threads available. The other three appeared to be thru holes. Should the front hole also be a thru hole? I did try to see if I could easily remove the obstruction but no luck.


Thanks for any insight.

Matt
