The EGW Savage 212 scope base transforms your Savage 212 shotgun into a modern tactical platform by bolting directly to the factory receiver holes—no gunsmithing required. If you're running a shotgun for hunting, home defense, or sport shooting and want to add an optic without permanent modifications, this one-piece Picatinny rail gives you a solid, repeatable mounting solution that accepts standard rings and allows quick adjustments to eye relief.
Built from 6061 T6 extruded aluminum and precision-machined to MIL-STD 1913 specifications, this Savage 212 scope base delivers the rigidity you need for reliable zero retention. The cross-slots are gauged to ±.002 inch tolerances, so your rings will seat consistently every time. The milled center channel reduces weight without sacrificing strength—a thoughtful detail if you're building a lighter shotgun setup.
Installation is straightforward: the base fits directly into the existing receiver mount holes on your Savage 212. EGW includes the socket head Torx screws and wrench you'll need to get it mounted. The company recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a small dab of blue threadlocker for a solid, permanent hold. Once it's on, you can swap rings and optics as your mission changes—hunting one season, tactical training the next.
