You need 4 screws but if you still have some wiggle I suggest trying this. Remove all of the screws and clean all of the loctite off of everything including the bottom of the base. Lay the screws out to verify that one is shorter than the other two. If they are all the same length. Install one at a time skipping the most forward screw hole. Make sure the base is secure as you tighten them all. If one is shorter put that one in the forward hole over the barrel threads. Contact Savage and tell them you were missing a Short or a Long base mount screw for your model. EGW might help but I doubt it.
