Egw Savage 10-16 Round Back Short Action 20 Moa Steel
$107.99
The EGW Savage 10–16 Round Back Short Action scope base delivers a no-gunsmith solution for mounting optics on your Savage short-action receiver. This one-piece steel rail uses your factory scope mount holes—no drilling, no tapping—and gives you a modern Picatinny rail interface that works with standard Picatinny or Weaver rings. That means you're not locked into one ring system; you can adapt and swap to dial in eye relief or upgrade your glass without starting over.
Built from 4140 carbon steel and pre-hardened to Rc 35–35 before machining, this mount is precision-engineered for rigidity where it counts. The cross-slots are gauged to MIL-STD 1913 specs (±.002") so your rings sit true every time. The 20 MOA design is built in—useful for long-range work on short-action rifles—and the heavy-duty profile keeps your scope closer to the barrel centerline for better sight picture and accuracy without unnecessary bulk. Everything you need is in the box: socket head Torx screws and the wrench to install them, plus EGW's recommendation to torque to 20 inch-lbs with a touch of blue loctite.
Whether you're setting up a precision rifle for the range or a hunting gun that already had factory rings you want to upgrade, this base adapts to your workflow instead of forcing you into a new one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this mount work with my Savage short-action without drilling my receiver?
Yes. The EGW base uses your existing factory scope mount holes, so installation requires no drilling, tapping, or gunsmithing.
Can I use this with my Weaver rings, or do I need Picatinny?
Either works. The mount's Picatinny rail is compatible with both Picatinny and Weaver scope rings, so you have flexibility in ring choice.
What's included in the box?
The mount comes with socket head Torx screws for installation and the wrench needed to install them.
Why does this mount have 20 MOA built in?
The 20 MOA angle is useful for long-range shooting on short-action rifles, allowing you to hold zero at distance without running out of turret adjustment. If you don't need it, a standard (0 MOA) mount is a separate option.
