Upgrade your Winchester's optical platform with premium, American-made scope mounts from EGW. Precision CNC-machined from solid domestic bar stock, our one-piece Picatinny rails are engineered to match exact Winchester receiver radii and screw-hole layouts.

Savage Arms has utilized a few different action patterns over the years, which means selecting a scope rail depends closely on your model, action length, and receiver profile shape.
Using a one-piece Picatinny rail aligns your optics perfectly with the bore axis, distributing structural torque evenly across the receiver and preventing ring binding. Our mounts are drilled to align precisely with factory receiver holes, providing an unyielding foundation for heavy tactical scopes and hunting optics alike.
Look closely at the very rear mounting area of your rifle receiver where the bolt shroud sits. If the top of the metal forms a continuous, smooth curved radius from front to back, it is a Round Back receiver (common on modern Savage 10/110 actions built after 2003). If the rear section steps down to a distinctly flat horizontal surface, it is an older Flat Back receiver. It is essential to select the correct rail profile to prevent unsafe bedding gaps under your scope mount.
Our Savage scope mounts ship complete with both #6-48 and #8-40 high-tensile screws right in the package. Factory Savage receivers vary depending on model and production year—older or standard setups utilize #6-48 threads, while newer heavy-barrel precision target models frequently come factory-drilled and tapped for larger #8-40 threads. Providing both screw sets ensures you have the exact hardware needed for a rock-solid, precise installation out of the box.
We have frequently found that modern factory Savage receivers have small amounts of packing grease, factory finish coatings, or unfinished burs remaining deep inside the receiver thread holes. To guarantee your scope rail sits perfectly flush against the receiver plane without binding prematurely, we highly recommend running a standard bottoming tap gently through the receiver threads to chase out any leftover manufacturing debris before final installation.
