EGW Guns Savage Renegauge Scope Base Features Mounting to the barrel rib rather than the receiver is the defining design decision here and it is the reason the rail exists: the Savage Renegauge is not drilled and tapped for optics so the rib is the mounting surface the gun actually offers and EGW Guns machined this base to sit on it. Once fitted the rail opens the shotgun to any optic that uses a Picatinny or Weaver base which in practice means the red dots and prism sights that transform a turkey gun s ability to place a dense pattern precisely on a bird s head and neck at forty yards. Picatinny cross-slots run the full length of the rail so the sight can be positioned anywhere along it to suit a shooter s head position and eye relief rather than being fixed at one point. For the turkey hunter or the waterfowler who wants an aiming reference more precise than a bead this base is the piece that makes it possible. The rail is machined from aluminum in EGW s own shop on their machining centers and the finishing sequence matters as much as the cutting: after machining the mounts are tumbled to break edges sand blasted for an even surface and then Type III anodized which is a hard-coat process that builds a genuinely wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant black layer rather than a cosmetic one. That level of protection earns its keep on a shotgun that spends its season in wet blinds and damp timber where a lesser finish would show corrosion by the second outing. Installation is straightforward and EGW recommends 20 inch lbs of torque with a drop of blue thread locker sold separately and the entire mount and its accessories from the mounting screws and wrench down to the packaging are made in the USA.
