Rifle Scopes Savage MK II TRR SR & Falcon Menace 5-25x56mm

[michael_aos]

Savage MK II TRR SR, with the supplied funky base with rails all over it.
Falcon Menace 5-25x56mm FFP / ML16
Seekins 30mm rings (I forget the height, but the scope just BARELY clears the barrel).

With the scope cranked all the way UP (as high as it will go), I can zero it @ ~50yds.

Does this sound normal? I had previously mounted this scope on a Marlin 22LR w/20MOA base and didn't notice any issues.

I figured I'd order an 20 MOA EGW (open to alternate suggestions) when they become available.

I have he same issue with a Savage Mark II FV-SR. I have to crank the elevation all the way up on my Leupold 3.5-10 to get it zeroed.

Apparently EGW won't have a 20 MOA base until 5/1.

I guess in the mean time I'll try a different scope.

I could be wrong but I was under the impression the rails all come off and a normal 1 5/8" ejection port EGW base would fit. If that is the case I just ordered one and mounted it up. Midway had them in stock as of last week. Either way good luck.

Yeah, the factory base is integral with all the rails. It's one big blob of aluminum.

Can't find the EGW base in stock anywhere.
