mount and ring decision
 

I need to change my mount and rings on my rifle. I have a savage 30-06, model 111 with AccuTrigger, no clip just magazine.
Should I go with a 1 piece or 2 pieces mount? I am afraid the 1 piece mount will make it difficult to load the ammos into the magazine.
Any recommendations brand and type.
Thanks

RE: mount and ring decision
 

It sounds like you have already made your decision to use a 2 piece base, but I would go with a dual dovetail base. I prefer Leupold bases and rings.

Not really. From an engineering point of view it seems a 1 piece mount will be better, but I have seen the B-SQuare https://www.swfa.com/pc-7905-639-b-square-interlock-one-piece-base.aspx one and I am afraid it will make it hard to go to the magazine.

RE: mount and ring decision
 

I have never owned a Savage and is probably one of the few guns that I haven't even handled, so I am ingnorant when it comes to your exact gun. I have owned several Remingtons and have always used 2 piece Leupold bases on them. The only guns that I have used one piece bases on is my Encores, Contenders, and scoped handguns.

and which style would you recommend? Weaver or the Leupold standard.
Thanks again for the help.

RE: mount and ring decision
 

I had a Savage model 16 chambered in .270 wsm with a standard Leupold one piece base and Leupold low rings. I did not have any problems loading the magazine.

RE: mount and ring decision
 

I have used 2 piece on my bolts for years with no issues.

I prefer Leupold Double Dovetails(vs the STD)or Warne Maxima's(vs weavers).

RE: mount and ring decision
 

As I said before, I prefer the Leupold dual dovetail bases and rings.

RE: mount and ring decision
 

Not even close, Leupold dual dovetail.

RE: mount and ring decision
 

I do not know which one will fit my rifle. The Leupold website does not list the Savage for the dual dovetail. Standard are OK.

RE: mount and ring decision
 

Their is an option if you want to use Double Dovetails, that is get Burris DD bases for your 11X Savage(make sure to get the correct ones, eitherround rear receiver or flat)and use either DD BurrisSignature rings or Leupold DD rings. That said Leupold STD will work, my partner has STD's on his Savage (no issues). I use Warne Maximas on my Savage ML.
