You mentioned that all the screws were tight. I'd make sure that your scope base screws are not bottoming out. They can be tight, but if they are too long .... it will give a "false tight".

You asked about cheek weld.

It can sure create a problem. After you change ring height, I'd also add to your stock even on a temporary basis to make your "weld" to suit your taste.

Your bench:

Older Chevys make much better benches than either Fords or Dodges. However, newer Chevys used as benches cause shots to veer to the left.
