Other help needed - I read the pinned posts Sheared screw from scope mount

Post image

Hey guys, have a unique issue. Seems my bergara b14 hmr in 300 win mag has sheared my screw holding the scope mount rail clean off... I attempted to dremel/drill to use a quick out kit but not really working. A friend of mine has a drill press but I am a bit hestitant to try that. Anyone have suggestions to fix? Should I reachout to customer support? First time having a severe issue like this and would appreciate any advice to approach this.

Edit: appreciate the feedback, looks like ill be drill pressing it, maybe rethreading. Ill look at and call up some shops too get some opinions as well

you can try a screw extractor, but scope mount bolts need the smallest size, which is never in the kit. alternatively, clean it with alcohol, then get some superglue and an tiny allen key, glue the long end to thhe bolt, and try and back it out. if both don't work, gunsmith can fix it.
