The EGW Savage 110-116 Round Back Long Action scope base gives you a solid, precision platform for mounting optics on your Savage bolt-action rifle without any gunsmithing. This one-piece Picatinny rail installs directly into your rifle's factory scope mount holes—no drilling, no tapping, no trips to the gunsmith. If you're upgrading from iron sights or swapping scopes frequently, this base delivers the flexibility modern shooters expect.
Built from 6061 T6 aluminum and precision-machined to MIL-STD 1913 specifications (±.002"), the EGW base accepts both Picatinny and Weaver scope rings, so you're not locked into one ring ecosystem. The milled center channel keeps weight low without sacrificing rigidity—important when you're glassing from dawn to dusk or running a precision rifle at distance. The 0 MOA configuration means zero pre-tilt, giving you full adjustment range with most modern scopes and letting you dial in exactly the eye relief that works for your shooting position.
Installation is straightforward: EGW supplies socket head Torx screws and the wrench to fit them. The manufacturer recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a drop of blue Loctite to keep everything locked down through recoil and field use. Whether you're building a long-range hunting rifle, setting up a precision target gun, or simply modernizing an older Savage action, this base is engineered to stay put and shoot straight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this scope base fit my Savage 110 or 116?
Yes. This EGW base is designed specifically for Savage 110 and 116 long-action receivers and mounts directly into the factory scope mounting holes on those rifles without modification.
Can I use this base with both Picatinny and Weaver scope rings?
Yes. The EGW base accepts both Picatinny and Weaver rings, giving you flexibility in ring selection and allowing you to upgrade or swap optics without replacing the base.
What does 0 MOA mean, and is that right for my rifle?
0 MOA means the base sits flat with no pre-tilt. This gives you the full adjustment range of most scopes and lets you dial in the exact eye relief that works for your shooting style—typical for general hunting and precision shooting setups.
What hardware and tools come with this base?
The EGW base includes socket head Torx screws for installation and the Torx wrench needed to tighten them. EGW recommends tightening to 20 inch-pounds and using a small amount of blue Loctite to keep the fasteners secure.
