Question for you who are much more knowledgeable than me:
I have a newer Savage 10PC that I have been unable to sight in. It shoots great, just not where I want it to. After trying two different scope bases(first cheap weavers, and latest EGW) I am unable to adjust the windage enough to get on target. It looks to me like the scope base holes point off to the right slightly, which is why my point of impact is consistently to the left. I did my best with a laser level and the holes definitely line up well off to the right. My question is: Is this normal enough that I just get some rings like the Burris that have the shims, or is this something I should send it back to Savage for?
To clarify, the scope works fine, and shoots great on another rifle. Its a newer Redfield Revolution, and I am talking 6inches to the left at 50 yards with my windage adjustment maxed out.
