I personally feel the factory Savage mounts blow, they need to be tightened and the screws should be longer, nearly 1/8 longer, and who was the moron at savage who thought using a freak of a thread pattern. I have an aftermarket that I really like. There are a few companies that make better ones, EGW is an example.

Here is mine.



These will be coming on market soon.
