110 with factory scope bases

[Perry]

I have a 110 with factory scope bases on it. Have any of you tried to remove these?

I assume they aren't screwed on, Some are soldered on, and some are investment cast with the action. The soldered ones can be removed, then just drill & tap, If they're cast it's best to leave them.

These look like they are soldered on. How long ago did Savage solder bases on their actions?

During the time of the War of 1812 I think. ???
