Leupold two piece base confusion

[salarguy]

Hi guys. This is my first post on here. I've only been able to locate the bases for 10/110 round top, 55742. Nowhere do I see a listing for model 11 round top. My son is graduating in 3 weeks and I need to assemble the package in time. I'm getting rumors of the round tops all taking the same bases, but why don't Leupold tell you that on their site. This is the first Savage I've had in my hands since I killed a nice stag Caribou with my Dads 99 and I'm loving the weight and balance of this .308!
Thanks in advance guys!

What Dave said. The short action round top base will fit 10/11/12/16 etc. Same goes for the long actions 110 etc. Obviously the short action base won’t fit long action etc

Thanks guys I'll go ahead and order it.

You are correct if planning on a 1 PIECE scope base. The 2 piece scope bases are the same for Long or Short actions. Although I would recommend a 1 piece Picatinny rail....and I would not use Leupold either! I would choose a rail in 7075 T6 Billet over the 6061 T6 that Leupold uses in its bases. Of course if you are using the steel bases/rings that Leupold offers than non of that applies. However those do not provide the achievable accuracy that Picatinny base/rings will.

This is is all my opinion of course and each has a right to their own.

what are the advantages of going with a one piece Picatinny rail base?
