Re: A few Savage questions
I personally feel the factory Savage mounts blow, they need to be tightened and the screws should be longer, nearly 1/8 longer, and who was the moron at savage who thought using a freak of a thread pattern. I have an aftermarket that I really like. There are a few companies that make better ones, EGW is an example.
Here is mine.

These will be coming on market soon.

Re: A few Savage questions
The Savage rimfires are a Lakefield design, not Savage. Savage bought the company several years ago in order to get back into the rimfire market. They are still made in Lakefield, Ontario (Canada).

Long time lurker here!
I jumped on the mount as soon as they were posted on Rimfire Technologies web site and it arrived today for less then $4 shipping. All I can say is "WOW"!. Fit and finish are first class all the way.
Thanks for posting the info shelbyfan
Re: A few Savage questions
I didn't know Rimfire Tech sold a base with the cutout so I ordered one from EGW. Its similar but doesn't have the ejection port cut out. I'll use it as is but if it effects ejections and such I'll simply mill it out. Won't be more than a 1/2 hour job

DeadNutz Products also offers a nice 1-piece ring-base combo for Savage rimfires.
Re: A few Savage questions
Just want to say. I got my R/T mount in and it fits amazing. I will take pics when I get my barrel on my rifle. I have a pre accutrigger MK2.
