Hey everyone,

First time poster here and I have a question about the rail mount that I just bought for my savage hog hunter model 11. After doing some research on multiple forums and on the Vortex website I decided to purchase an EGW rail for my rifle. Upon trying to install the rail I noticed that either a) the torx screws that came with the rail are to big, as in fat or wide. When looking more closely at the rifle and the pre drilled holes for mounting I noticed that there may be 6-48 dummy screws inside of the pre-existing mounting holes.

So here are my questions.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Can I remove the dummy screws?

If so what tool can I use to do so?

Do I just need to find slimmer torx screws?

Thanks for your help!!
