Anyone here own a Savage Edge Rifle?

[2cool9031]

I have a Savage Edge rifle in .223. I mounted the standard 2 piece scope bases, mounted my rings and scope, and I found that I just can't move the scope back far enough to get the proper eye relief.
So I found a tactical scope base on E-bay and I am hoping this will solve my problem. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have one and had no problems mounting the scope. I also used the standard 2 piece bases. What scope did you put on your? Maybe my scope is longer??

I put on a BSA 3x-9x-50mm. At first I thought the buttstock was just a little long for me, but it is the same length as other rifles I own. It seems like I have to move my head way forward to get a good view of the crosshairs.

I have one in .308, I bought it with the scope package because it was a good deal. I will eventually get a one piece base for it when I get a good scope for it. The Savage long action is one of the hardest bolt rifles to get a scope on, and all of the Edge/Axis rifles are built on the long action.

 

[Yeah]

Eye relief sets the scopes that work apart from those that don't.

The long action is precisely why I don't have an edge/axis in .223. It's completely unnecessary and only used to save money. Cheap glass with limited eye relief just isn't going to work for a lot of shooters on that platform. A rail may help. Regardless, it'll be trial and error.

I got my tactical scope mount from Welcome to Evolution Gun Works, Inc.. It came today and it looks great. This guy sells on e-bay too. I ended up paying $28.01 + shipping.

EGW makes nice rail. I have a friend who swears by them and has at least five of their mounts. They also made good on a mis-pick in very short order.

If you go to their website, they are kinda expensive...but they do have E-bay auctions.

So did it help with your problem????
