I have a Savage model 12 with a Leupy 6.5-20 VX3 mounted in Leupy adj. bases and rings. As you can see from the pic, the scope isn't even close to being centered over the bore. It looks like the action has been drilled off center when actually it's not. I had to use all the travel in the adj base in order to get the rifle on paper without using all the windage in the scope adjustment. The rifle as you see it is zeroed at 100 and shoots down the middle all the way to 300,farthest I've shot it). Am I missing something? Is there a simple explanation for the scope to be pointing so far out of alignment with the barrel?
I installed two 3" sunshades to help show the misalignment. If I had a mirage tube mounted to the scope, the end of it would be 1/2" to the right of the barrel.
Thanks for any help.
