I had the same problem with a marlin 17 a few years ago. I tried everything. Different mounts,scopes ect... Turned out 2 of the 4 holes in the receiver were out of center. Should be noticeable with a straight edge. Brought the rifle back to shooters and they gave me full credit.

Pulled the bases. Holes look centered. Didn't throw the calipers on them bu they pass the eyeball test. The receiver top is curved and the bases are cupped so they should be hard to miss-align unless the bases aren't machined square.
