These instances of badly warped receivers and mis-aligned scope mounting holes seem to be greatly exaggerated lately. Since Savage changed over to the round top style, the heat treat changed with it to reduce the problem of warping. With the process they use to drill and tap the holes, I find it hard to believe that they can be misaligned with one another. The biggest culprit is not the receivers, it's the scope bases. I've seen many Weaver bases with the holes drilled off center. Since the inception of the new Okuma machining centers, the overall quality and tolerances have improved dramatically. Don't believe everything you read on the web.
