As others have alluded to, you really need to try a different base first before moving on.

Cutters on CNC machines wear, even on aluminum. Machines need recalibration/tramming etc. every so often - just to name a few of many variables in machining. There are sometimes poor tolerances in bases. The idea of bedding a poorly machined base isn’t always enough or possible to make up for poor tolerances.

Just in the past few years on different rifles, I’ve seen poor tolerances with one Leupold Back Country base (others have been good), poor tolerances with one EGW base, and poor tolerances with a Warne Mountain Tech.

In EVERY case the exchanged base had better/proper/acceptable tolerances. With that said, obviously receivers, rings, and scopes sometimes have issues, too. I and many others have seen that, too. But IMHO, start by fitting a different one piece base.
