EGW Savage 10-16 Round Back Short Action Heavy Duty Steel Scope Base Features Machining the rail from 4140 carbon steel that is pre-hardened before cutting gives the mount far more resistance to dented slots stripped threads and flex than a lightweight base which matters when a large objective scope with heavy rings is hanging off the receiver. The flat 0 MOA layout keeps the optical axis parallel to the bore the right choice for a rifle used inside normal hunting and range distances where a scope s internal travel is already sufficient to zero and hold over. Full width cross-slots are gauged to MIL-STD 1913 specifications within .002 inch so ring recoil lugs drop into place squarely and the whole assembly stays indexed shot after shot. For hunters and range shooters who want a mount they never have to think about again steel construction removes the weakest link in a typical scope setup. Because the base is a single piece rather than separate front and rear halves the alignment problems and loose connections that plague two-piece setups simply do not arise and the rings share one continuous machined surface. Picatinny slot and rail spacing along the full length allows ring position to be shifted forward or back to fine tune eye relief and any Picatinny or Weaver style rings will clamp to it. Socket head Torx screws and a wrench ship in the box with EGW recommending 20 inch pounds of torque and a drop of blue thread locker so nothing shifts under recoil.
