I built a 260 on a mdl 10 action I bought. Today I was going to rob the bases off my mdl 16 so I could mount the scope on the mdl 10. The screws were to small, the screws in the 10 action are a #8 instead of a #6 and appear to be a 36 thread. The threads aren't bright and shiny like they were re-drilled and tapped, the finish is dull like the action.

Did Savage use different screw sizes in their actions? My mdl 11, and 16 have #6 screws, I think the 12 does too.

Thanks, Justin
