The EGW Savage Mark II scope base with 1-3/8" ejection port is a one-piece Picatinny rail system designed to mount optics on Savage Mark II shotgun receivers without drilling or tapping. If you're running a scope on a Savage shotgun and want a sturdy, no-gunsmithing solution, this base gives you a precision-machined platform that accepts standard Picatinny or Weaver rings, letting you dial in your preferred eye relief and swap between compatible optics quickly.
Built from 6061 T6 extruded aluminum, the rail is machined to MIL-STD 1913 spec tolerances (±.002") to ensure consistent, reliable seating with quality rings. The one-piece design offers more rigidity than split bases, which matters when you're depending on your scope to stay put through recoil and field use. It bolts directly to your Savage's factory scope mount holes—no permanent modifications required, so you can remove it anytime if you switch guns or go back to iron sights.
The base ships with socket head Torx screws and a wrench for installation. EGW specs 20 inch-pounds of torque and a drop of blue Loctite to keep everything locked down. At roughly 20 MOA of elevation, this base is built for shooters who need a bit of upward cant for longer shooting distances or heavier loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this scope base fit my Savage Mark II shotgun?
Yes, if your Savage Mark II has a 1-3/8" ejection port and factory scope mount holes on the receiver. The base bolts directly to those existing holes with no drilling or tapping needed.
Can I use both Picatinny and Weaver scope rings with this base?
Yes. The rail is machined to MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny spec and will accept scope rings designed for either Picatinny or Weaver mounting systems.
What's included with the EGW Savage Mark II base?
The base comes with socket head Torx screws and a wrench for installation. EGW recommends applying blue Loctite and torquing to 20 inch-pounds during setup.
Is the 20 MOA elevation adjustment something I can change?
The 20 MOA elevation is built into the base design and cannot be adjusted. It's set to provide that amount of upward cant for shooters who need additional elevation correction.
