At least you know the cheap scope is mounted properly, which beats having it come loose in the field.

at least you got to tinker on your new toys for an hour without creating another 5 hours of work, that's a win in my book

 Would have been nice if OP mentioned something about the new rifle, like the make and model, but I am going to assume the rifle was cheap as the weaver scope it was attached to

Bingo. In 350 legend. Wasn’t told that they were the same. The package in the base says it’s good with my axis. Here |

All in all, as a package deal for $350 a couple years ago, it is great. I think you’ll be just fine for 350L distances. You might not have the best time if you’re pushing legal-light, but after that no problem. |

Or 3? |

Don't feel too bad. I went to sight in my muzzleloader today. Got all my stuff together, drove to the range, got set up, and realized I forgot my powder lol. 1.5 hours and gas wasted.

No offense bro, but you need to do more research before hand.
It’s not uncommon for me to call Talley or leupold or whoever, and ask if the systems that I want to use are compatible. They have always been very helpful. |

 Good luck OP, I think you'll do fine with the Savage & Weaver combo, the glass is not the best but adequate, but I was surprised by the caliber though, the 350 is new to me. |

I did the same the other day, kinda Looked in my accoutrement bag and my patches were gone (flintlock) Have my own range so I just went back to the house looking for them. Spent at least 45mins looking for them. House, sheds... nada Never did find them. Big mystery |

I don't know if it's funny or sad, I can just look at a rifle/scope/base/ring combo now and tell if it's going to work properly.

Sounds like a typical day when I worked at a gun store. Somebody always bringing in a rifle, scope, mount, and rings for us to put together and zero and none of them would work. Then get pissed off because we wouldn't spend an hour figuring it out for them and ordering the correct parts. If they would have bought the rifle, scope, and mounts from the store to start with we would have done it all for free before it left the store.

I'd say that returning gin to factory condition is nothing short of a miracle. Gin has always been a single-use product for me.

If you order a new base on line, you can have it in two days.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Bingo. In 350 legend. Wasn’t told that they were the same. The package in the base says it’s good with my axis. Here Look at it this way. The cheap weaver is more than adequate for deer. Deer are pretty big. The issue I had with my Axis was that one of the screws on the two piece base was buggered up. Gunsmith charged be $20 to unfuck it and mount Pic base. Now more better. Since I'm using the Axis for Groundhog, it needed a better scope. They are pretty small when they're far away. I put the cheap weaver on my 270 1903 sporter. Works great on that. It isn't really a horrible scope, just not enough for varmint hunting at any distance. On the upside, my Axis in .243 is incredibly accurate. I can't find a load it shoots poorly and with my preferred handload it is target rifle accurate. It punches way above it's price point. |

If they would have bought the rifle, scope, and mounts from the store to start with we would have done it all for free before it left the store. That's what I did. I bought a new Tikka Superlite and had the gun store order the correct rings in for a scope I already had. They said they would mount it and bore sight it for me. Now I'm paranoid whether they will do it correctly or not. I might take a torque wrench to the screws just to make sure. |

I would have taken the new base out to my drill press and counter bored the screw holes or enlarged them as needed and moved on.
