Mount for Savage 11 Hog Hunter

[SouthernWoodworking]

So, I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on buying a Hog Hunter in 308. What scope base should I get? I would prefer a cheap one due to my budget. The scope is (probably) gonna be a Millett 4x16x50 scope. This will be used for long range and hunting.

Is that scope ok? Seems to have good reviews.

Is this a hunting rifle? If it is I suggest looking into the DNZ Gamereaper one piece mounts. I just bought my third one. I am pretty rough on rifles in the woods and it hasn't let me down.

Edit: Just reread your post. The DNZ prob won't be your best bet if you are shooting long range with it as well as hunting.

You should offer that guy 800 for the Rifle in the link. he spent 1200 to build it.

Yes, it will be used for hunting a long range.

I have a Weaver 48338 (pic rail) on my hog hunter. Until Saturday it had a Vortex Viper on it mounted with Leupold PRW rings. It is solid as a rock. I have shot it out to 600 yards without problem.

Do I have to get a 20 moa base? Will if effect short range?

That depends on if you have enough vertical adjustment to bring the scope back to zero at say; 100 yards.

Yea, my scope wont be able to. I just ordered a flat one.

If you decide to ever change your scope, you can send your dead nuts base back in and they can mill a 20 MOA cant on it for about $70.

OR I can just buy one for $45. What do you say "Dead nuts base"
