Question for the Savage shooters on here

leeaspell · #1 11-12-2011, 07:51 PM

Picked up a Savage 111 from Scoobydoo on here and he tossed in some weaver bases. Only problem is that they are too far apart for the lenght of my scope. So I figured a 1 piece base would work. Only problem is I cant seem to find the right number. A search on the weaver sight shows the 1 piece as what looks like a side mount of some sort. What is everyone else using. Its a 270 Win

I have the 111 FCNS and had to get and weaver extended base for my redfield works like a charm no ejection issues. I believe its the 48429 from weaver.

Talley rings, bases and rings are the same. Work great.

Because of the position of the scope in relation to the base I had to buy these rings to mount one scope.

I've also gone with with the weaver extended base on my 270. Work like a charm.

you got a short bodied scope and a long action Savage...you'll have to use the extension rings like Bushnell says..watch out for the objective scope bell hitting on the edge of the front base tho .

i use the reversible double dovetail mounts from burris on my 111 with the signature rings(the ones with the adjustable inserts).

Extension bases will solve the problem for cheap.

402 for the front and 46 for the rear I believe.

Cabelas doesnt have 402. would a 403 work?

Be sure to check if yours is the round or flat rear receiver.

I have been looking for some 402 Weaver bases as well to mount a Redfield on my Savage Axis. Cabelas does not have them, as you said, but Wholesale has them in their catalog. I am going in to the city tomorrow and will stop in to see if they have any on the shelf, I will let you know.

Western gun parts has 402 bases

I just had the same issue with my savage 111 long action.

My solution was to get a one piece base (weaver part number 48329 its a multi slot type) and the proper rings to allow for clearence of the scope.

I was able to get the base at Western Gun parts here in Edmonton for about $24.00.

WSS north has the 402 in stock.
