I have a first Gen short action. it was actually called a 110E. It was chambered in 243 but I am going to go to a 308 at 20". Most people have no clue what this action even is. I am having a hard time fining bases for it. Any help????

EGW has decent bases for a good price.

You said "bases" - are you planning to use 2? I would consider a 1-piece instead.
If your rifle is an older 110 I think it would have the "flat rear" receiver, and there should be options for a reasonably priced 1-piece base.

I'm very happy with Warne steel bases. I'd go two-piece but that's just me (looks better and less crowded wth cold piddies). Does yours have a flat receiver rear? This site has their fit cart.

AlwY, always, ALWAYS....use a one piece base of either steel, or 7075 T6 Billet aluminum. And make certain it is Picatinney,(aka Mil-STD-1913 rail or PICADILLY! LOL!). Do not waste money on Weaver! PERIOD!
I have not personally seen a 1 piece scope base for a Gen 1. If I did it was a long time ago. Your action was something like an intermediate action. The ejection port was 1/2" shorter than the long action and 1/4 inch longer than the short action. I am betting the two piece flat back will be the ones you end up using.
This one works. It is a 2 piece.
