Screws are screws, and larger ones will work just as well as smaller ones. I would not have sent it back if someone like Steve could have fixed it for a small fee. Either way GL again.

Well not to hijack the thread (well maybe) BUT it has to do with off center scope holes...My Bubba rifle, a sporterized 1917 Remington U.S. Enfield, is more or less my favorite hunting rifle. Ever. I just like it and my pops gave it to me as it was his. The front scope mount is off center and I also have to crank windage to sight it in. Never really been an issue since most places I hunt its never more that 100 yards.
BUT,
If it is off like that can the drilled holes in the reciever be filled somehow and then redrill and tap properly? I wanna say i saw a video where some were filled with a peened over plug screw then filed smooth but they were doing it for cosmetics. I would like this corrected if possible.

At this point, it's a bout the principle, they screwed up, so I just want it to be fixed. I know it sounds petty but I just want the dang thing to do what it's supposed to do.
I should've taken it to Steve, but he didn't mess it up.
It can be done easily by a competent gunsmith. The gun can be ruined by a not very competent smith that uses the wrong equipment.
And this is their SECOND attempt.
Nothing petty about it. You purchased a product and expected it to be as advertised. I have no patience for these types of issues either. When I pay for a product or service and don't receive it, I hold their feet to the fire until I get what I purchased or my money back. Hope they take care of it and don't give you the run around.
It hit the ups truck tuesday, Friday at 9 am I got an email saying it's there, if they don't live up to my standards then it won't be pretty
Not yet, I got an email last Tuesday saying a Gunsmith has my rifle.....so it'll be another week if it's like last time.
But this time around I'm going to be even more critical on inspecting the rifle
