Hello,
This week I was going to start my new project, putting a new caliber barrel and scope base on a used Savage 110 I recently got at a show.

The rifle appears to have been a package gun, wood stock, 30-06 long action, (round back, no accu-trigger, blind magazine). When I took the scope off, there are no holes from the steel weaver bases to the rifle action. No markings on the bases either. From below, I can not see any holes drilled and tapped. So I imagine this must be a factory set up, and it is brazed or spot welded on.

I'm a little disappointed, as I wanted to change out the scope base. Any options to do this? I suspect no, but thought I would ask.

I guess this would be a good setup for a basic no frills hunting rifle, no bases to come loose, but I like a one piece picatinny type rail on my rifles.

Thanks for any ideas.
