Scope Mounting Question

[trymyxd]

Hi all, so i just purchased myself a Savage 116 weather warrior rifle and I have a leupold VX-II that i am going to mount on it. My question is what mounts and/or rings do i need in order to mount my scope. I was hoping that some of you may own savages and will tell me what they used for their set-up and any other suggestions would be great. Thanks

Make sure you check the rear of your receiver...Savage is goofy...they had a round and a tapered receiver....the rounded rear receivers are the newer receivers.

I personally always use a one piece base. I do not like the two piece bases. I don't know what your intended use for the rifle is, but from the looks of the rifle/scope it's going to be a hunting rig. If it's just a hunting rig, you will be alright with a 0MOA base...the Burris xtreme rings aren't too bad on the wallet and they are decent quality.
