Might have found the problem, back to original post.... Is this a Remington LA (LONG Action) in .308? Really? Someone might have built it on an old 30-06 or something - but 308s are SA (Short action) Remingtons....
Do you mean "Left hand"?
If it is a left hand action - odds are you don't have the correct Leup standard base for it. I've been trying to source such a creature for a buddy for almost a year. Nada. Leup doesn't make them now and I don't think they ever did. Keith C at Milcun uses Left-hand actions and he told me he always had to use two-piece bases before he switched over to ambidextrous rail mounts...(Milcun makes a base now - I own a couple and they're awesome. Rem700SA only. I had to use a Badger on my LA 6.5x284)
If you have a Leup standard base and you've screwed it down onto a "Left" handed action - good chance something doesn't fit right. You might need to get something else and start over. (Good opportunity to get the 20 MOA rail everybody's been pressuring you to get)
