    Thats a nice looking rifle! You're not being a dick, but the dealer may never have known that the bases were on the piss, it may have worked perfectly for a previous owner with different rings or windage rings, so the responsibility for fixing it is a grey area as it is second hand. As gundoc said it can be fixed relatively easy by the right person, a little time and a little cash and all good. Or you could get the holes milled to a larger size, as properly done in a mill it should be able to be held on centre, buy another base or a blank base and have the larger holes made in that as well. I like those older classic wood blued rifles, and they look tidy with Weaver rings and the older Leupold M8 scopes, so I would be taking it to a competent gunsmith and getting it put right to use Weaver rings. And I'd be pulling my project rifle from the dealer and taking it to a competent gunsmith as well.
