Savage reciever not straight at scope base... wtf?

[Blue Avenger]

OK… Once again, adjustable rings do nothing for the rail not fitting due to too much material removed from the Action. So no they are not best. More like a “jury rig” at best. The best way to go is addressing the absent material of the Action.

Your exactly right in as far as your letting your self go with rail mount. He dose have a 2 piece mount that could have been used. Not needed now as he bedded the rail.

Fix it or let someone else fix it. You will likely damage any scope you try to secure to that rail. You would be luckier still if the scope could be zero-ed. Lapped rings or not. Sharpshooter has fixed them( and so have I). It takes some know how with proper tools and instruments to do it right. It needs to be tested for straightness and to make sure the bolt travels smoothly in the action. It helps tremendously if you have done it before. It is also possible that rail is already garbage. For people who have never done it it seems like an easy backyard shade tree mechanic hack would work. And maybe this once it might but from a guy that brought home a tee shirt there is too much bend to expect things to fall into place with a little epoxy between the base and the rear of the action. The screw axis is even different. So send it to Sharpshooter and be happy. He will get the base mounts as linear as anyone can get them. He can make the front and rear of the action concentric as best it can be restored. Your bolt will slide easily and you will have a nice action. For a little more, timed and trued.

Send it to Sharpshooter to straighten if you want it done right. Or the zee rings will work if you just have to. If you don't fix it you are going to crush the tubes on your scope.
