The EGW Savage 110-116 Round Back Long Action scope base brings versatility and precision to your rifle without requiring gunsmithing. This one-piece Picatinny rail mounts directly to the factory scope holes on Savage 110 and 116 long-action receivers, giving you the flexibility to dial in eye relief and swap optics to match your hunting or range setup. It's engineered for shooters who want a modern rail system without drilling, tapping, or permanent modifications.
Built from 7075 T6 extruded aluminum, this base is precision-machined to rigid tolerances and designed as a heavy-duty mount that positions your scope closer to the barrel centerline than lighter alternatives—a geometry that can improve accuracy and reduce sight height. The Picatinny cross-slots are gauged to MIL-STD 1913 specs within ±.002 inches, so any standard Picatinny or Weaver scope ring will fit and stay put. Installation is straightforward: the base uses socket head Torx fasteners (included, along with wrench) and EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a dab of blue Loctite for final security.
If you run a Savage long-action centerfire and want to modernize your mounting system without permanent changes to the receiver, this base delivers the adjustability and precision of a dedicated rail in a drop-in package.
