The EGW Savage 10-16 Round Rear Short Action 20 MOA scope base brings modern Picatinny rail mounting to your Savage short-action rifle without the gunsmith work. If you're running a Savage 10, 12, or 16 and want one-piece mounting simplicity with angle-of-fire correction built in, this aluminum rail mounts directly to your receiver's factory holes—no drilling, no tapping required. It's the kind of bolt-on upgrade that saves time and money while giving you the flexibility to dial in your scope's eye relief exactly how you want it.
Built from 6061 T6 extruded aluminum, this base is precision-machined to industry specs. The full-width Picatinny cross-slots meet MIL-STD 1913 tolerances to ±.002 inch, so your rings—whether Picatinny or Weaver—will seat consistently and securely. The 20 MOA angle is standard on long-range hunting builds, giving you extra elevation adjustment room on your scope turrets without running out of mechanical travel when you dial up for distance. And EGW kept weight to a minimum with a milled center channel running the length of the rail, which matters if you're after every ounce on a mountain hunt.
The kit arrives with socket head Torx screws and the wrench you'll need to install them. EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a drop of blue threadlocker for assembly. This is a straightforward, no-nonsense mount that respects the platform it's built for and the shooter who uses it.
