I started this discussion in a different thread but wanted to bring this to more peoples attention who may not look at my original post. I ordered an EGW 20moa scope base and I had issues with the front, most forward screw hole because the barrel shank sits just underneath. The screws they sent me were all the same length and of course, the forward screw would bottom out and hit the shank without actually tightening the mount to the action. They tried to rectify the situation by sending me a shorter screw and to my dismay, all it was was a stock screw put on a grinder...it would not even thread into the hole.

So.... my question is, what bases have you used on your 12 LRP and have their been any issues like I've had? Savage says everything is fine with my rifle and EGW says they have never seen this issue. Someone is wrong and this being my first Savage, I'm not sure who.
