I've just now done the check that 1858 has reccomended. I was mistaken on the Savage Alignment issue. The Savage seems to be OK so it may very well be the DNZ. I tried putting the screws (that normally hold the base/rings) into the reciever without the base. Then I used a straight edge and...

Only thing is that my cheap Mossberg Plinkster doesn't even have this offset on the barrel to stock. My Ruger and my Marlins also don't have this. Not a big deal to me as long as the barrel/reciever is aligned but we will see. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

Wow I really feel like an idiot now. Complete brain fart there and your absolutely right. I will do the ruler checkup thing before I send the Savage in. The only thing is that even without the scope mounted to the rifle, towards the front part of the stock you can see that the gap between...

I love my 336. I compared it to the Winchester back-to-back and I liked the 336 allot more. It seems like a much more solid build.

Well it looks like I am having some bad luck with this Savage. It appears that the barrel may not be aligned with the reciever properly. What really bugs me is that Savage says it is going to take them 3 weeks to look at the issue and fix it. I would have figured that being that this rifle is...

Sure it does. I don't think it is the actual screws that are off. It think it is the reciever to barrel connection. If it was the base/rings- rotating the assy 180 degress should invert the issue and make the scope point to the right. Oh and just a little bit more fun. Savage says it...

After following DNZs reccommendation of rotating the base/ring assy 180 degrees I have found that the scope is still visibly pointing to the left. This means that it is not the base and scope but rather the rifle itself. I think this will be the absolute last Savage rifle I will buy. What...

Well before I start shipping items around DNZ reccomended swapping the rings around (front to back). Apparently they are interchangeable from a mounting perspective (only difference is the side of the base on it.

It is possible it is the Savage so i am going to try to borrow another base just to confirm that the savage is or is not the culprit. The DNZ appears to be absolutely exquisite in the build quality but that doesn't mean that it can't be a dud. I contacted DNZ late lastnight and they have...

The DNZ mounted to the 10FP perfectly. I think your right- they very well may have machined the rings cock eyed. They appear to be parallel with each other, but not with the base geometry.

I appreciate the advice guys. You have some great tips and tricks here! The thing is that the DNZ game reaper is a "one piece" unit that is a base and rings combo. Yes the BODY of the scope is visually not true. My brother and I can both easily see this by visual inspection which is...

Good point. I believe this rifle was manufactuered during the rush. It would make sense if quality slipped a touch. I didn't know that SW was having problems too. All of my Smiths have been absolutely flawless but they are a few years old.

I have tried removing the bolt and pointing at an object and the scope is definitely off. I know it can be adjusted slightly but I can visibly see that the scope is not centered and it pointing to the left. If I can see it just by looking at it, it has got to be really bad. I'm going to bring...

Well I got my scope and base for my 10FP recently. The problem is that I can visibly see that the scope is not alligned with the barrel. I've tried reseating the base and scope a million times and it seems that the base may have been machined improperly. Any thoughts on this? Setup...

I believe my Ruger 44 carbine just uses the very initial blast from the gas block to cycle it's action. It doesn't have a cylinder like the AK 47 does in standard form. So I'm willing to bet that Nalioth is correct in that it probably would cycle.

It is a safe, not a cabinet. I have all of the photos on my phone and I don't have my link cable or bluetooth connection on this computer. I can upload the pictures later. The safe took all of about 5 minutes to get into- definitely not something worth having a smith do in my book. I didn't...

Yeah I am fairly certain calling a locksmith for a safe like this would be a huge waste of time and money. And I didn't damage the safe by not having a locksmith come out from the beginning since the safe obviously has other issues to contend with in the first place. Paying a locksmith to...

Well the thing is that it has an interior wall on the side of the door that keeps them from pushing into the lock mechanism. I've tried pushing the door in pulling on it, etc while trying to open the safe. I even tried tilting it backwards a little bit to see if that would do something. It...

I love my S&W M&P 45. Never had to use it in anger but it always fires at the range no matter what I put through it. Not one jam. Ever. And 45 packs a good punch. I also have the good 'ole Winchester 1300a with a folding stock and a flash light. Any shotgun si always a good defense item to...

Where did you hit it?
