I have a 10FP that is currently at the gun store I bought it at getting checked by a smith to see why I only have 2.5" of windage left when zeroed. I had some trouble when installing the EGW 20moa base, so its got to either be the base or the actual receiver holes, not the scope or rings. I'm hoping that the base is the culprit. My question is what happens if its a defect in the rifle? It is less that a year old, so its covered under warranty, but I had a muzzle brake installed and it is timed. If it needs a new receiver, chances are the brake won't line up and if its the barrel, then I guess I would have to have the brake reinstalled on the new barrel. My other question is lets say its the barrel, would Savage let me change calibers to .223? If its the barrel, could I ask them to install a comp. recoil lug? Looking forward to some responses.
