Rifle Scopes Is the factory mount any good ?

[Mach1320]

My savage model 10 FLCP-K came with a base which was unexpected. Just wondered if you guys think I should use it or pick up something better ?




Thanks

Use it. Don't change it unless it sucks, and can be proven that it sucks. Don't fall into the hype of fixing what aint broke.

Probably an EGW or Weaver Tactical. Both are decent rails and I would keep them. I tend to remove them if they come on the gun, clean them, then remount. I'm just picky though.

I will just use the one it came with. What do you guys reccomend for rings ? Ive got a 6-24x50mm scope going on but theres so many options

Depends on your budget. On the low end I would suggest a set of Warne Maxima medium height. You could probably get away with a set of low rings as the base appears to be rather beefy in nature.

Id like to try and not go over $100 on rings. Do most of you guys lap them? And what do you put on after that? Some bluing to prevent rust?

For inexpensive rings, I like the Burris signature zee rings - the ones with the spherical inserts. No need to lap, plus you can add MOA if you want by using offset inserts. Also useful for correcting screwed up bases/actions.

I would not suggest the Signature rings on a Picatinney rail, as the round cross-bolt does not lock down good in MY experience. TPS has makes some quality rings that are less than $100.

I was actually looking at the tps steel rings. They looked pretty nice

You have to slide the rings forward until the cross bolt makes contact, and then tighten the crap out of them.

Ya I did that, and it still shook loose. Your experience might be different... But my experience with Burris rings have not been good. If I were to go mounts other that a rail and tac-style rings, I would suggest Talley light-weights. SWFA Mounts, Rings and Bases Talley Mounts Talley Lightweight Aluminum Scopemounts Talley Lightweight Aluminum 30mm Scopemounts
Other than those, The only rings I have tried that worked were Badger's and Aadland's Dual-lugs, but neither of those meet the OP's price requirement.

Vortex makes some pretty good rings and reasonably priced. It may be a secret but the package of the ones I bought mentioned they were actually made by Warne.

$100 isnt a firm limit more looking in that range. I dont want thr cheapest but i,also dont need the best of the best
