Savage Axis Multi Slot Mounting Base Aluminum

Got this on amazon warehouse for like $8 to get a proper mount for my savage axis chambered in 6.5 Creedmore. Super easy to install (make sure to put the long screws in back) and it's just like that you are free to mount whatever your heart desires to the rifle. Super cheap, super effective, very happy customer. Edit, still giving this 5 stars - but just a word to the wise. Use some lock-tight on the screws. They can come loose. If you wrench them too hard you risk stripping the head. A few drops of lock tight and this is the best weaver mount for a savage axis that money can buy.

Model No: 48347 (For Savage Axis Rifle only) Matte 506 I ordered this for my Savage Axis to replace the mount that came with the rifle so i can move my scope further back. Unseen in the product picture, there is a cutout that lines with the rifle's Ejection port, but this is useless because it is blocked by the top of the receiver anyway. The distance between each pair of holes on this base are the same and can be mounted either way depending on what you want. I actually mounted it the opposite way, ejection port cutout on the left (just like how you would mount it on a lefty) because I need my scope further back. Before doing this, i called Weaver to ask if this is possible, but the guy on the other end of the phone said he was NOT sure. I did it anyway as I measured the heights on each end, and they were equal. This mount comes with slotted screw drivers, two screws are longer than the other. The longer screws are for the rear, while the shorter ones are for the front. I have considered using the screws that came with the rifle (they are all the same length) they should work with this base, except the front most screw beacuse the Weaver base is thinner than the ones that came eith the rifle which means, the front screw becomes too long. The Base to Receiver torque setting recommended by Weaver is 15 to 20 Inch Lbs. (INCH not foot) We'll see what happens when i receive my Weaver rings over the weekend.

The flaw with the savage axis was the scope rail. Couldn't fit my vortex on it. This was a perfect fit. And much cheaper than anywhere else.

This product is great for expanding mounting options for optics vs the only position on the factory two piece mount. It is designed to fit flush with the receiver. It is well constructed and durable. I have only one issue with this mount and from what I have read on forums, others have too. The screws provided with the mount actually prevent the action from closing completely. It is no big deal to me since I just used the screws from the original two piece mounts. The reason I gave it a 4 star rating is because although the screws being too long are a minor issue and most people would still have the factory issued screws, the product is designed specifically for the Axis. If it was a generic product which the packaging stated "may fit Savage Axis", it would not be fault of the manufacturer. But since it was designed specifically for the Axis and all included parts could not be used, I felt it deserved a lower rating.

The short clips that may or may not come on an AXIS rifle can be the thing to prevent the gun from being able to be zeroed. Reason why is that a straight alignment of the scope - attached with rings to these two short clips/rails may not be happening; however, when this long one piece rail is used a perfectly straight alignment and getting the rifle to zero is almost assured. I have two AXIS II Predator rifles with the heavy barrel, mossy oak camouflage stock and accutrigger , one is 22-250 and the other is 6.5 Creedmoor., On these Savage seemed to put more effort into attaching the two short clips/rails, even using torx screws that seem to lock down hard into the clip at a certain torque. Even so, I still removed these short clips and replaced them with this longer rail that pick up all four threaded holes along the top of the receiver. Using a bit of blue locktite and using the original screws or the original torx screws, if that's what you have, is probably good. Getting all four screws started threw the long rail before torquing them, sequentially or each screw a bit and then a bit more, while knowing there's some loctite on the threads... This is a tedious job and it isn't that easy, but it's worth the effort because this rail is not something to ever be taken off of an AXIS gun. Having a precision screwdriver kit with all manner of bits was the thing, and that's why I was able to do it myself. Gun store clerks seem to do this job in a hap hazard way often times with poor results resulting in a gun that won't zero. The AXIS bolt action rifles are actually very accurate when set up the right way. Even the low end cheaper ones with the bad triggers are very accurate guns. This clip, you can buy the type that costs three times as much, is the starting point to getting an AXIS gun right; there's no reason not to for $10. I have bought three of these now and have put them on three different AXIS rifles. I wish I had a few more of them laying around because it's the first thing to do to any AXIS rifle. Better after market stocks and triggers for AXIS guns will eventually come along but the need for a rail like this will always be there. The need to do calculus about the scope and the length of the scope, when mounting it to the two short clips, goes away, And then, without any problem, most any scope can be attached and used on an AXIS gun that has one of these long rails.

Perfect fit for my axis 223 (older model). Keep in mind the different screw lengths. I believe linger towards the rear, shorter towards the front. I put a smidge of locktite on them but make sure not to put too much and make sure none gets into the action as the holes go all the way through. Torqued to spec per the instructions I found online

Excellent service, delivered as promised. Good fit for my Savage Axis rifle, enables me to mount shorter scopes than when using standard two-piece mounts. Higly recommended!
