If you explain your setup better with mounting or post a picture, we may be able to help. What scope mounting are you using? Bases/rails & rings?
I've given up on scope mounting on this rifle. My scopes are just not long enough to work with savages, maybe it comes back to the real long magazine.

I just need to get it feed. I might put some kind of small screw driver in stock bag for digging rounds out.
