For those who demand precision and reliability in their shooting equipment, the Savage Flatback Receiver Scope Mounts offer a robust solution tailored for discerning marksmen. Designed specifically for Savage rifles manufactured in 2003 and earlier, these mounts accommodate both long and short actions with ease.
The engineering behind these mounts is meticulous. The front of the receiver is rounded while the back remains flat where the mounts attach, ensuring a secure fit that withstands recoil and maintains zero shot after shot. The base screws measure 6-48 X 1/4 inches long, paired with ring screws at 6-40 X 5/8 inches long—both requiring a standard 7/64 Allen wrench for installation.
Attention to detail extends to hole spacing dimensions as well; each mount boasts precise .86-inch spacing on both front and back components. It’s important to note that these are not identical parts—the rear mount stands taller than its counterpart due to the lower position of the receiver's back end.
The choice between Standard rings and Tactical rings allows shooters customization based on intended application: Standard rings feature two screws per ring at .63 inches wide, whereas Tactical rings double up with four screws per ring measuring .80 inches wide. This provides increased stability under high-stress conditions or when using larger optics.
Height options cater further personalization from top of receiver to centerline of scope tube: low profile measures at .92 inches, medium height extends this distance to 1.05 inches, while high profile reaches up to 1.17 inches—each offering distinct advantages depending on your specific requirements.
