Hi,

I purchased a new Savage 12FV in .223 from Cabela's today and when I tried to mount the Weaver 2 piece scope bases (#46 as suggested on Savage's website), the included screws just spin around and don't make any contact with the threads. The screws do this in all four holes, with or without the bases set in place. I then tried a set of Burris Xtreme Tactical Steel (2 piece) with same result. Anyone heard of this before? Seems like a defect from the factory. Not sure if I should try and take it back to Cabela's or go directly to Savage.

Thanks,

Matt
