Weaver #45 bases on a 93r17 GV

[LHitchcox]

The #45s fit correctly. They are just taller than the normally recommended Weaver bases. I used them with a set of low rings and they were fine.

Thanks, I had read where some folks had used them, just wasn't sure if the radius was the same as the receiver. I have read where some have used mounts that were not exactly the same, and "bedded" them to "take up the slack". Didn't want to go that route, as I have enough "variables" to contend with already :) , and my rings worked out fine with the OEM bases. Three of the screws in the bases were loose(less than 5 inch lbs to turn), and one was so tight, I thought I was going to strip it, or break it off. Quality has really slipped since the last Savage I bought. I realize this was not an expensive rifle, but there's no excuse for such as that. OK, I'll shut up now. Thanks for your reply. Gary
