Talley Picatinny 1 Piece Base, Black, for Savage with AccuTrigger Short Action (8-40), 20 MOA

The Talley Picatinny 1 Piece Base is a precision rifle scope mounting solution engineered for Savage short-action rifles equipped with AccuTrigger. Built as a single integrated piece, this base delivers the rock-solid repeatability serious shooters demand when mounting optics to a Savage platform. The 20 MOA elevation angle is built into the base itself, giving you a significant aiming advantage for long-range hunting and target work without sacrificing optical quality or requiring shims and spacers.

Talley has been machining scope bases since the 1970s, and their commitment to consistency shows in every detail. This base uses 8-40 fasteners (the correct specification for Savage AccuTrigger short actions) and is finished in hard-anodized black, resisting corrosion through seasons of field use. The Picatinny rail profile is the modern standard—compatible with any Picatinny-mounted ring system—so you're not locked into a single ring manufacturer once you install the base.

One-piece bases offer inherent advantages over split designs: they eliminate the potential for zero shift if individual pieces ever loosen or wear, and they provide a wider, more stable platform for consistent scope mounting. If you're building a Savage short-action rifle from the ground up, or upgrading to a quality optic setup on an existing gun, starting with a purpose-built Talley base is the foundation every capable rifle deserves.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this base fit my Savage rifle?

This base is specifically designed for Savage short-action receivers equipped with AccuTrigger, using 8-40 mounting screws. Verify your rifle is a Savage short-action AccuTrigger model before purchasing. Long-action Savage rifles require a different base.

What scopes and rings work with a Picatinny base?

Any scope rings with Picatinny mounting feet will attach to this base. Picatinny is the modern industry standard for tactical and hunting optics, giving you flexibility across most quality ring brands and models.

Why is 20 MOA built into the base?

The 20 MOA angle is pre-machined into the base to tilt your scope slightly upward, extending your usable adjustment range for long-range hunting and target shooting. This allows you to dial elevation adjustments on your scope without running out of vertical travel at distance.

Is this a one-piece or split base?

This is a one-piece integrated base, meaning the entire rail assembly is a single rigid unit. One-piece designs eliminate potential movement between separate parts and provide superior zero stability compared to two-piece designs.
