Gunsmithing factory holes drilled off center?

Hey Guys,
Hoping for solutions for something that I think is unusual, but maybe it's more common then I think. I bought a Savage 110 long action that doesn't seem to shoot straight. Yes I know that the barrel shoots straight but the sight hole seem to be off. The gun shoots to the left so much that i have the windage bottomed out to hit center at 100 yds. At first thought it was the cheap weaver mounts that came with it but I have replaced them with a EGW one piece mount and still have the same problem.
Is it a common problem for the holes to be drilled off-center? Can it be repaired or do i need to replace the gun? Any help would be appreciated.
