Bedding and custom work?

Since you did not say how far off you are, or what scope you are mounting (1"?) not sure there are Burris Pos-Align rings available, but that is the simplest solution if not all that far off and using the offset bushings to shift elevation and/or windage.
 
I use a lot of Leupold rings and bases. The Leupold rings have a windage screw in the rear base. Put your scope back to the middle of the adjustments then move the scope with the windage screws and save the scope adjustments to fine tune. Its a lot harder to explain than it is to do the adjustments.
 
Mounting athlon argos 8-34x56 30mm tube on factory savage bases, but ill have to check the rings. I usually use vortex but these are not. Something budget i know, but had no probs on my 204.

Below is the pic (auto logged off and didnt notice). Sharpie is point of aim, about dime size. Lowest group is my 4 round group. I gave up on fine tuning when i knew i was going to remount everything. 5 round group was my sons after coming up one full rotation. He just wanted to shoot and didnt care otherwise!
 
First 100 yard score match is coming up. Than the new to me H&R m12 will get a bedding/pillar job. Only issue I see is the rear action screw doesn't have much material(wood) on the trigger housing side. I will have to make a pillar for it, the front will get an adjustable pillar.

You might try flipping your rings around. Some have said it works but never has for me.

Yes, this is what i was trying to describe before but i wasnt very clear. On my 204, the rings tightened to the bases on the non ejection side. When i remounted i put them on the ejection side. Didnt think it would make a diff, but maybe it will. Ill flip them 180* and see what it does. If not, spring for new rings i suppose.
 
Leupold windage base or Burris split moa ring run the let and right mot up and down
Quickest fix lupold windage base

Well, tried the 180 with the rings and no luck. It did bring it a bit more left, but still not far enough to zero. Maybe gained 1” at 50 yards when i needed 3-4.

After looking, the rings im using are the older vortex pro that are vertically split. I think my next step is going to be a pic rail and try the rings again. I did find out i was torquing them incorrectly also, being vertical vs horizontal. I figured the same principal of even criss-cross torque and gaps applied, but the vortex vid i saw instructed to torque top screws 15-18 inch/lbs, then bottoms. Well see what happens once again i guess.
 
Well, mounted the same rings on a warne 15 moa rail last night, torqued the rings (again, vertically split) per vortex instructions and got it bore sighted last night. Had plenty of left windage to spare, so something must have been off with my bases. Only thing noticeable was the head of one screw was stripped. Had to drill it out to remove it. Didnt feel loose, but the sharp movement of the rifle firing might have been enough anyways. Hoping for some good luck the next range day!
 
Just to pile on the Leupold (Redfield) windage adjustable bases /rings suggestion. Just add another plus 1.
Those have been around way longer than many other mounting options.
In my opinion just a rock solid design.
Hopefully your latest mounting efforts works for you, There is a advantages to the Warne rail as well.
