Due to the change in which receivers have #6 and #8 screws from Savage, we recommend you remove and measure one of the screws prior to purchasing our scope mount. This will ensure that you receive the correct screws necessary for your specific application. Some Savage guns (like the .338 Lapua or 110 BA) require 8-40 screws. We now have mounts drilled for #8 screws available for all MOAs. We also have a #8 Drill Out Kit available for customers who would like to drill the mounts out themselves.
This mount is drilled for and provided with 6-48 Hex Head screws. We recommend reviewing our listing below for predrilled #8 mounts if you require #8 screws. Our 8-40 and 6-48 screws utilize the same head design, which allows us to use the same countersink in all of our mounts.

Rifle Scope Facts
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through magnification by making use of a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to take into account varied ecological things like wind speed and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are seeing with the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Most contemporary rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are located internally and on the exterior of the optic. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding on the best type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Optic Facts
First focal plane glass (FFP) feature the reticle ahead of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the extent of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non amplified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” plus “lead” equations for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture with less room taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Rifle Glass Magnification
The extent of scope magnification you require depends on the kind of shooting you want to do. Almost every style of rifle optic gives some degree of magnification. The amount of zoom a scope gives is identified by the size, thickness, and curves of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope. This signifies what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is magnified times the power element of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle scope and optic comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not fluctuate since it is a fixed power scope.
About Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified settings. The power modification is achieved using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Scope Power and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope powers and the distances where they can be effectively used. High power optics will not be as beneficial as lower powered scopes considering that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same idea relates to extended distances where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Rifle Optic Lens Finishing
All modern-day rifle scope lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of glass coatings. When thinking about luxury rifle targeting units, Lens finish can be an important aspect of defining the capability of the rifle. The lenses are among the most significant components of the scope since they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finishing on the lenses shields the lens surface and also improves anti glare capabilities from excess sunlight and color visibility.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some scope suppliers will also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which take advantage of different processes, polarizations, chemicals, and components to extract various color ranges and viewable target visibility through lenses. This high-definition finish is commonly used with more costly, high density glass which reduces light’s potential to refract through the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to describe “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be noticeable over objects with hard edges and shapes as light hits the item from particular angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have different coverings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finishing used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope company and the amount you spent for it. Both the manufacturer and amount are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives several treatments, it can prove that a company is taking numerous steps to combat different environmental factors like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This additionally doesn’t always mean the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of components used in constructing the rifle optic.
Details on Anti-water Finishing
Water on a lens does not help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish which is water repellent.
Alternatives for Installing Optics on Long Guns
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also normally can be found in quick release variations which use throw levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly install and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is fine for rifles which need a durable, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Rifle Optic Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and remove a scope from a rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar style mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach securely to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while maintaining precision. These types of mounts come in convenient for rifles which are moved a lot, to remove the scope from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are chosen for use between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
Info on Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by inducing fogging and developing residue inside of the scope’s tube. A lot of scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Generally, these scopes can be submerged underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of moisture prevention for standard use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle aboard a watercraft and are concerned about the scope still working if it is submerged in water and you can still find the firearm.
Optic Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less altered by temperature shifts and pressure distinctions from the external environment which could possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
