Got a savage 12lrp and a swfa ss 3-15x42 30mm I'm needing to mount on it. So many options from cheap to expensive. Just looking for some suggestions.
Rifle Scopes Savage 12lrp base and rings?

My son just bought that same rifle and we will probably be ordering Seekins 20 moa mount and 34mm low rings for his new Atacr scope. You can spend more money but I don't think you can get better parts than the Seekins. Going to order them from SWFA. We've had good luck with them.
I have pict. Rails on all three of my savages. Egw on a 223 and 308, steel ken farrell on a 300wm. All are 20 moa. Tps low rings on the 223 and 308, ken farrell medium steel rings on the 300. I have been happy with them all, and would consider seekins as well. Alot of savage guys recommend Murphys precision also.

I'm not familiar with that exact model, is it different? I was under the impression with savage it was short or long action, round or flat back. There may other models that I'm not aware of.
This is correct information. The Savage 12LRP takes a Short Action round receiver rail. Any 20 MOA offering from EGW, Weaver, Warne, ect will suffice. A little info on rings; if you can't find the height Seekins rings you want see if the same height is available in the Vortex Precision rings. They are made for Vortex by Seekins.
They should, as long as both have the accutrigger. 10/11/12 all have the same scope mount holes b/c they are all short action, only change was when they went from pre-accutrigger to post they changed from an open top to a solid top design.
Ken Farrell. Have them on both my precision target actions. He has them specifically for this action. If you buy something else, make sure you don't get one with a recoil lug. The action is closed top and a recoil lug won't work.
I think im going to go with the seekins rings, can i get by with low .82 or med .87 with the egw base? SS 3-15x42 30mm
The ocular housing clearing the rail may be a problem, the objective clearing the barrel won't be. When I had Tps super low rings on my savage 10pc, a ss10x42 had to sit back a little further than I wanted so the rear focus ring didn't hit the rail. Those rings were. 820 high. Since I have switched to Tps low rings and an ss 3-15x42 with no issues. These rings are .925 high. I'll put some pix up in a bit when I can.
Most, yes, but if the scope rail has a built in recoil lug, no, because the 12LRP has the closed top target action. I have one that I put a Warne 20MOA rail on and a set of American Rifle Company rings that I cannot recommend enough.
Best,

Because the 12 lrp uses the target rounded action, an egw base will give you a gap between your action and the base. Most egw bases are made for the 10 action which is opened on the top. I did a build off of a target action and ended up using a Ken Farrel base. It blends in much better with the top of the receiver. If you don't mind that gap, egw bases are a little cheaper and they will get the job done.

You have to grind off the recoil lug thats built into the rail, after that it works great!
I ended up with that weaver base and will grind lug off and a set if leupold mk4 rings. Local shop sold me the rings for $110 and base at $30. So I think it will work great. Thanks for the help.
