Need Help with Savage First Gen Short Receiver Scope Rail!!!

[seagiant]

Hi,
Thanks, I actually have a friend that is a all around Gunsmith and he is going to see if we can use a regular 110 (flat back, round front) and maybe get away with drilling some new holes where needed.

Less labor than getting a blank anyway...

Will post what I come up with, to bad you can't post pics here???

What is up with that???

Hi,
Well, I feel sort of FOOLISH admitting this but I got the scope mounted.

I was looking at it again and noticed the rail cut outs on the bases was more towards one end than the other, so...

Flipped them around and it JUST gave me enough room to mount the scope, but it is against the wall, so to speak with no room for adjustment!

Talked to my friend and he said I could buy 2 sets of Weaver double offset rings and use the offset out of each package to move the scope back which would give me a better (closer) eye relief!

I could then sale the "regular" rings, as a "normal" ring set, to off set the cost.

An idea anyway, but I'm going to try and shoot it as it is and see what I think.

Thanks again for the help everyone!!!

I decided to to Murphy precision on a couple of mine. Could not be happier.

If these guys don't have it in the online listings I bet they would make it for you for a decent price. Have worked with them before and had no issues.

Baaa... Can’t find anything offered for the very first “short”, (but not really) Actions.. Frustrating.


But this one should work.

Hi,
Thank you very much, that is it.

The first Gen "Short" was actually longer than the later Savage "Short", and was so deemed, a Medium, I guess.

Admittedly, I now know more about Savage Production History, than I was looking to learn!

Thanks, again!!!

Yeah.... that usually happens here, LOL. But it’s all our pleasure to try to help answer questions.
