Well I just can't seem to get there; I had decided to use a set of Warne Tactical Rings that I have just acquired to mount one of my VX-3's to the new Savage that we have been speaking of.
Here's the problem; so far with the area that the rings consume I have not found a base that will allow for the short length of the scope even though it is a short action. I ordered and received two of Warne's M904M bases that will work but stick out over the bolt area. I know that some times this is the way it goes but from what I can see if the rings and bases would stop just at the opening of the bolt it would be idea. I just hate the patch work look that the hang over offers. Can anyone recommended bases that will get all the inside reach that is possible with out overhang I would even consider solid rail if it were cut away to allow full access to the bolt area. |

REP I share your pain, The SA savage action ring spacing is actually longer than my LA Ruger. I have been considering one of the 2-7 vortex's but it would require a 1 pc. base which I don't really want. I did find a 1 pc. at B Square but the cut out is only partial if this helps any.

I use talley lightweight mounts on my savage SA and haven't had any troubles with access to the chamber area. I know you are only really looking for a base but you may consider them as an alternative and use the rings for something else, or return them if you can.

WOW; I had a look at the Bench Source and plain to call them today with a few questions. The first impression I got was HOW TALL ARE THOSE THINGS ANYWAY? They look like a 1/2" or something plus another 1/2'' for the rings. Is this the case? Speaking as a life time hunter who knows little about the world of bench shooting; what is the deal or does it just look that high in the photos? They also show a rail that was interesting with a cut out for the bolt. This would be ideal if it allows proper bolt Clearance and is not as tall as they look on the site. |

The light weights are great cause they are base and ring in one. I use them on all 4 of my Savages, Long and Short action! SWFA carries them too!
