yep, Savage made a run of actions with the bases integrated onto the action, and are not removeable. They quickly scrapped that idea...

actions are fine as far as I know, just has limited scope mounting options. Maybe BillPa will chime in here soon. I'm pretty sure he has one too IIRC.

No problems that I've come across so far. The only thing you to watch is the scope mounting length and it's position for you. Your limited to the fixed mount position.

you have one that is soldered on or the older one model that was cast with bases?
Cast receivers only lasted one year. they warped during heat treating.
