Welcome to the forum!
I'm not quite clear here, was the "gunsmith" doing the tinkering or was it you? This sounds like a simple case of the front screw being too long and bottoming on the barrel threads. Over tightening screws leads to damage every time !Originally Posted by JBR27
As far as a mounting system goes, my .300 WM has the Savage factory bases and Burris Signature rings, it works so I didn't feel a need to change it. That being said, if it is not installed correctly no mounting system will work.
