Egw Savage A17 20 Moa

The EGW Savage A17 scope base brings modern tactical mounting to your Savage A17 rimfire without the hassle of gunsmithing. This one-piece Picatinny rail mounts directly to your rifle's factory receiver holes—no drilling, no tapping, no trips to the gunsmith. If you're looking to upgrade from iron sights or swap optics quickly, a quality scope base is the foundation that makes everything else work right.

Built from 6061 T6 extruded aluminum, the EGW base is precision machined for rigidity and lightweight performance. The Picatinny slots are gauged to MIL-STD 1913 spec (±.002"), so any standard Picatinny or Weaver rings will lock down securely and repeatably. The milled center channel reduces weight without sacrificing strength—a smart detail for a rimfire platform where every ounce counts if you're hiking or hunting small game.

Installation is straightforward: the base arrives with socket head Torx screws and the wrench you need. EGW recommends 20 inch-pounds of torque and a drop of blue Loctite to keep everything locked in place. Whether you're mounting a red dot for quick target work, a variable scope for precision shooting, or planning future upgrades, this base gives you the flexibility to choose your rings and optics without constraint.
