I have a Savage 10FP in .308 and the EGW 20 moa mount. Scope is a Millet TRS-1. I have the Burris XTR medium rings. There is a bit of a gap between the scope objective and the barrel. Just wondering if the standard or low rings would work with this setup and still have room for the lens cover, even with the 3" extension.
Thanks,
Donald
Go to Burris' website, and they have a chart for ring heights. Compare the difference in height of the rings you have to the rings you wanna get, then take the difference measurement and see if you have that amount of clearance on your gun now. If so then it'll work.
Have the same set up, you can run up to a 56mm bell on your scope with any EGW base (0MOA or 20) and LOW XTR rings, med's are to high... Lows work well without being to close...
Have to agree w gunman. I have XTR med height rings w plenty of room to spare. Used them cause they were lying around and I don't mind the height.
Yes you can use the XTR low rings. I am using the same base, same scope, but with Warne steel low rings. still 3/16" to spare.
I have a 110 FCP-K, EGW 20 MOA base, and Burris XTR's (low). For a scope I have a Vortex Crossfire 8-32x50. Here are some pics with my sun shield on.

Some one broke your gun and then put it back together backwards. The bolt is on the wrong side.Quote:

I have the same setup. I only have a hundred rounds through it so far. How do you guys like the millet scope? So far it seems good for what I need!
Your rings are on backwards also. ::)

Is your Vortex a 1" tube or 30mm? I am getting a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50mm which is a 30mm tube. Will the low rings work for me? I also have a very thick barrel with a straight taper.Quote:

I just ordered the medium Burris Tactical Extreme 30mm rings from SWFA. The scope that I have on it now has a 30mm tube with a 50mm objective lens. It is atop a EGW 20 MOA with 1" high rings. With this set up the bottom of the objective is 3/4" above the barrel. If I used the 1/4" rings the scope would almost touch the barrel and I do not think I could fit lens cover on it. With the 1/2" rings this leaves me 1/4" above the barrel. I do need to mention that I have a heavy barrel with a straight taper to the muzzle.
"Aim small miss small", ;D

I had a setup before that was so close, that I had to notch out the bottom of my cover. Let's see the pics when you get it set up.
Hello All,
The Std Tactical rail is .400 from the top of the receiver ring to the top of the rail.
We recently introducted the HD 7075 T6 Rails that are .350, almost 1/16 lower if that helps.
Not sure the height of the rings you mention? we offer our HD rings and our Practical rings.
from the center of the scope to the top of the rail is .850 using a 30mm tube.
The Practical rings are 59.99 and of course made in our shop here in Quakertown Pa.
Thank you Very much for all the support on here.
as an aside, the EDGE mounts should be back from Anodize friday if anyone is looking.
best regards,
geo

The bases themselves are great, but the screws will put the screws to you!

Unless you torqued your base like a gorilla, that screw-out set should be all you'll ever need. I speak from experience here. :D
But in all seriousness, the screws are junk. I just ordered a new steel base from EGW, and I'm starting to wonder if not getting two-three spare sets was a mistake...
I just did this with my 30 mm scope with a 50mm objective. Hope this helps.

Our screws are made from 4037 steel. cold formed into shape, than the thread is rolled which makes a stronger thread.
They are heat treated at Woller heat treat to 40-43 RC thant black anodized.
We recomend that they be torqued to 20 inch lbs.
We destructive test parts, using 3 different torque wrenches for reference and a hex driver that fits the head the heads strip out at averate of 43 inch lbs. That is over 2x the recomended torque. The driver is fresh, not rounded out and we were using 4 torque wrenches. We pulled one that gave a higher number so the average with the high thrown out is 43.
If you installed our mount and the screw stripped email us egw6@pil.net and we will send a set out to you.
Torx screws will take a higher inch lbs before they strip, around 53 inch lbs at which point the driver twists off.
Are you guys using torque wrenches?
thank you

I'll remember you said that, for if and when I strip mine out. I will try my best not to over torque them. :D
Never had a problem with EGW's Factory Screws, but they will give you Torxs screws for a small fee, if you order the bases directly from them.

For the record, I'm the poor Canuck who wanted a left-hand-port steel base. ;)
I did use the Wheeler Fat Wrench(all I have in the way of a torque wrench) on the second one. I just used the provided allen wrench on the first try. I took both sets of screws out on the same night while attempting to switch barrels. I can't imagine why 3 of the 8 would round out when the others didn't. I will pass on the kind offer to replace my screws (but thanks though) and just get a set of Torx screws from my local gunsmith. Thanks also to firemachine69!!! That got me back in the game for only $16 and I can use it all around the house!

I have NO idea how I lived without it. It looks so much like a late-night informercial sham, but it truly DOES work! ;D
